The scope is limited to electoral debates. It's in the interest of the citizens.

  This is giving random researchers ("including those affiliated with non-profit bodies, organizations, and associations") "unrestricted access to all publicly available data on the platform immediately after elections" as long as they are doing something with some connection to the election? Doesn't sound very limited in scope... just timing. There's tons of nefarious uses for data like that which is why social media APIs usually have limitations on how broad you can go.

    Twitter gave researches good access. Then came Musk and shut that down. I don't think he did that because he worried about nefarious uses.
