This is the most horrifyingly unethical research I have seen in a long time. How on earth is the University of Wisconsin's IRB allowing this sort of thing to happen? Getting all of this data without consent from students at a university, even working out who their minor-age friends are?

@CatherineFlick this is also so wildly out of whack with other data that I have seen, and so directly tied to a CCP policy initiative that I have trouble seeing this as anything but propaganda being at *best* unwittingly science-washed by US researchers
@CatherineFlick really, really hope there is an investigation here
@glyph I’m speaking with some US colleagues before I write a letter.
