"We understand that you don’t want Crisis Text Line to share any data," the suicide hotline nonprofit wrote in a statement Monday.

I was thinking about this thread today as I was in crisis last night but to afraid to text the normal number. They claim they have stopped sharing data. I will continue to use alternate crisis lines becuase the fact that they did this in the first place was disgusting and honestly, I don't trust them to not do it again.
"We understand that you don't want Crisis Text Line to share any data with Loris, even though the data is handled securely, anonymized and scrubbed of personally identifiable information," This statement came off to me as really defensive, like they still don't see the problem with what is happening and they're just annoyed at the backlash they're getting. Truly shows that they don't care about the data sharing and they're just trying to keep a good rep.
They say they can't trace the information back to specific people but the article states it is possible. I can no longer tell what the crisis text line representatives are lying about anymore.
The mental health system as a whole doesn't have my trust- which hurts quite a bit considering I want and need help. I'll do my research before I ever trust anyone claiming they do their work to be helpful.
