Is anyone concerned that AI health company Sword has purchased Headspace?
Sword is an "AI" health company. I cannot imagine they will refrain from scrapping every last bit of user data from Headspace. I'm especially concerned they might commercialize private data (e.g., which Headspace programs you use for what and how often, etc.)
I will stop using it but damn I have data going back to 2012 or so there.

Medito and InsightTimer are great free alternatives
Good idea to ditch it. Shoot, my therapist and I are even concerned that their telehealth platform — more of a practice management software (simplepractice) — just added this new AI tool called “Care Aide” as an option.
Headspace was already a data harvesting platform. If your company pays for headspace (mine does), then the company gets access to your data (might be anonymised, but who knows).
Not sure why you would be concerned, headspace has been doing exactly that for years so the only thing changing is who profits off it
Yes. It's cooked
