The methods were vastly different.
- djohnston 6y agoi think the point is that no academic is owed any of this data, and while FB was collaborating with academic institutions, its clearly not worth the risk
- bobthepanda 6y agoNYU isn't collaborating with FB though. It's collaborating with FB users, who explicitly agree to do this. Does FB get to dictate how its users get to share their own data?

- djohnston 6y agoI would argue yes, particularly social media data. For one thing most interactions on these platforms involve at least two parties interacting. If one of these parties decides to send the transactions to a chrome extension, it seems they are making a decision unilaterally for all participants. Certainly if anyone is going to do that it will be the platform itself.
