Definitely need academics and civil society in this discussion. There is little easy here, and need depth. https://twitter.com/jbakcoleman/status/1453026193486213126 …
You think spirit of open inquiry would get Facebook or Google to share research? One, we have the *actual* track record: they do not share if they don't like the result or the reaction. Two, not calling you nuts, but please be wary of offers of cheap bridges in Kings County.

There was a time a while ago, maybe this could have been possible. Say 2012 when FB was helping the correct candidate win elections. Back then academics could use Facebook to research stuff but unfortunately that was the origin of the Cambridge Analytica thing.

I, along with other academics, was a critic of the broader picture issues back then, too when "the correct candidate" as you put it, was seen as benefiting from Facebook etc. But even back then, independent academics did not have proper access—it's a company!
