We haven't collected any data, only analysed our federated timeline, as every federated instance can.
We understand concerns about data collection, however this research is similar to that which academics often publish. It's to help grow understanding, never for monetization or gain.
The research is not related to instance specific data outside of newsmast.social and the Newsmast app.
You can see more information about how Newsmast is funded in our FAQs: https://www.newsmastfoundation.org/faqs/
@newsmast
Thank you for that information, so will defederating newsmast[.]social discontinue the future data collection research studies from your organization?
Do you intend to move to a double opt-in method before the next report or not?
