I think we can live our whole lives happy without academia's take on Facebook, but otherwise wholeheartedly agree with this critique.https://twitter.com/alexstamos/status/1453028053802631170 …
Some of my best friends are social scientists! But worth aspirations don't make anything a good idea.

There's an "We alone can fix this" tone to some of this, which I am sure is unintentional, that rubs me the wrong way.

It's not just aspirations. Track record in producing good work, understanding, resisting money and being empirically grounded. I, too, can see bad examples, but the track record of *many* academics in this space is pretty solid. Can't be the only group, but has a lot to offer.

I don't think we can ignore the allure of de facto tenure in Facebook Studies (plus a massive administrative apparatus to oversee it all) when considering some of the schemes that have been floated to grant researchers sustained and privileged access to big tech internal data.
