It should be public like the sex offender registry (no, I'm not comparing sex offenders to parents who don't vaccinate their kids). Fuck HIPAA, we're talking about public health. Even if kids are unnamed, neighborhoods should have a listing of the proportion of unvaccinated kids.

I think you'd be surprised how many people will agree with you. Personally I think parents should be force to home school unvaccinated children. I'm one step shy from thinking there should be a public registry (exception for kids not vaccinated for legitimate reasons).

The full text of the study is free here, if anyone is interested.

Business agreement. Not consenting to scientific research, which holds an entirely separate set of rules. Nothing in the business agreement consents to such a thing.

What's your six word memoir?

There is a difference between marketing research and academic research.

There's nothing easier to ignore on the internet than reasonable people making informed points.

This is actually something I know a great deal about as I worked in research for many years. I'm not coming at this half cocked, nor are many of people commenting on the ethical implications of the study.

As soon as data established that it was affecting peoples' moods it would be considered more than minimal risk. The research could have been carried on without a waiver (people could have opted into research as part of their participation on FB), and participants were not provided with information after

I would very much like to see their explanation as well

It would actually be illegal regardless (a violation of participants' rights is not allowed regardless of who is funding it), but if it was federally funded the government would be culpable. The international review board policies of informed consent and right to withdrawal apply to all bodies performing research.

It alters your everyday life if it is part of your everyday life prior to the experiment.

I mentioned in another thread that that doesn't exactly count. Withdrawing from a study is not supposed in any way alter your every day life, you simply remove yourself from participation in the experiment. But regardless, even if people would have done so, they had no reason to suspect that it was a necessity.

Thanks for this - it's an excellent breakdown.

The real issue is not in the type of study (emotional manipulation is not uncommon in research), it's that ethically and legally participants need to have some degree of informed consent and to be able to withdraw from a study at any time at their discretion.

it's really a badge of honor, if you think about it.

Yup! Those are really helpful, I love mine. But not everyone has the space/money/desire for a tool they may not get regular use out of. This trick works great!

Ish. The algorithm has no consistent logic and sometimes the comment with the most responses (even when it's people telling the person they're an asshole or correcting a factual error in their comment repeatedly) is at the top, rather than one with the most recommends. It also gives preference to comments made

Hey. Jewish medical professional girl with curly hair here, friends with many Jewish lawyer girls with curly hair. The stereotypical Jewish curls are entirely tamable with some cream and a diffuser in roughly 7 minutes. I could take an hour to do it, but it's not a requirement. It is easy to throw it into a severe
