I did not compare Facebook's experiments to those of Nazis. I used Nazi experimentation as a canonical example of unethical science.
Since it is likely unavoidable that referring to Nazis will lead to accusations of Godwining, I have edited my above post to hopefully make this distinction extremely clear.
- throwaway2048 8y agoDon't feel bad about it, people parroting any mention of nazis as "godwining" (and almost always trying to use it as "you lose the arguement!!!", which wasnt even godwin's observation) are terribly short sighted. If you refuse to even discuss the nazis and what they did, especially in directly applicable cases like this, how the hell can we ever hope to not repeat their mistakes.
