- ori_b 7y agoThat's not sufficient reason to trust them.
- bathtub365 7y agoI don’t think it’s necessary. In fact, I’d prefer if these researchers didn’t even exist.
- 0_gravitas 7y agoCan you make a good case for legitimate researchers of any kind not to exist? Just because its a potentially dangerous/dismal subject matter doesn't mean it should be discarded as forbidden knowledge; if the truth destroys us then perhaps we deserve to be destroyed, better that than to live in ignorance.
- ori_b 7y agoLet them exist; However, their existence shouldn't be a free license to data.
