TITLE: More on BetterHelp Settlement

I believe this has a bit more information in it than the earlier
report.  The fine is still "proposed", but:

-- BetterHelp agrees with the settlement
-- BetterHelp is banned under the settlement from continuing to share
customer health data for marketing purposes
-- BetterHelp continued to do this even after being purchased by Teladoc
-- BetterHelp denies there is anything wrong with what they did and
assert that **its standard industry practice**.
