Gregory's Server@newsmast Hello. How do we opt our instance out of your research? Is there no opt out besides defederation? Or are you still going to be doing the research? Not everyone consents to this type of research especially in safe spaces.

@newsmast I sent you an email on 10/30/23 and had no reply: "What do you have in mind and what is your monetization strategy and four year lookahead? If this is a research project, will you promise to be transparent about naming all of your funders and provide routine financial reports detailing where all ongoing income is spent?" Interesting that there is no easy way to opt-out besides contacting you directly. In my opinion, default opt-in data collection like this is unsavory at best. Hi Keith, we've had a look and found that we replied to your email on the 31/10/24 but we'll just forward the email to you again for visibility! What is your organization's official mission statement and how does your organization feel that it applies to non-consensual, opt-in by default, data collection research study activity? Hi Keith, please see our reply to your comments here: https://newsmast.social/@newsmast/112218274653716870 |
