Might be cool stuff they're doing but it doesn't make it any less unethical no matter how much they try to whitewash it. This is slippery slope stuff

  They're not slippery-sloping anything. They're saying your data is theirs, period.

  Using aggregate data (ie. not any individual's personal data) about interactions to study societal behaviour is unethical? On a website that you willingly sign up for, no doubt with disclaimers about how they're allowed to use your data? As far as slippery slopes go, Facebook crossed that line quite a while ago...

    When you publicly disclose the results, without any way for the data to be peer reviewed? Absolutely.
