Facebook's Research Policy Fail
- Forbes, Tuesday, July 1, 2014 11:10 AM
Disputing Facebook’s defense of its “emotion manipulation” study, Forbes reports that the company’s Data Use Policy did not allow for such “research” back in 2012 when the study was conducted. “Some critics don’t think that throwing the word ‘research’ into a many-thousands-word-long data use policy is adequate for performing psychological experiments on users, but now it seems that Facebook hadn’t even done that,” according to Forbes.
