I wouldn't tell you if I were a FSSW, given I live in the USA. I don't collect the ip addresses of people who submit, the information is submitted through google forms (as you can tell) and thus goes to a spreadsheet.
I agree that statistics are really dangerous, as in easily warped, taken out of context, read to mean things they don't actually indicate. I try to keep this in mind and be really open about data limitations whenever I talk about any results from my surveys.

Like I said, if you feel so passionate about this project, then work with a peer org. There are so many in the USA. Create safeguards. Protect your community. Don't be wilding with some Google spreadsheet like it's the wild wild west of research

No, I have a really strong distrust for mainstream academia. I don't trust them, I don't trust their competence or their moral sense or their incentive structure.

I'm also not academically trained whatsoever (yay being too poor for college), but I am... relatively literate in research, possibly moreso than a lot of people who actually do research. I'm also part of a community that's super sticklers about not fucking with data.

it's that the data she's asking for isnt something that's safe on a Google doc, nor is it endorsed by any peer based org. It's just very iffy. As a community people LOVE to lunge onto statistics and warp them. It's just not a good idea, especially atm
