@Forbes "Researchers into SS1 will be permitted to actively manipulate unsuspecting user accounts to control the flow of info they receive, alter their emotional state, affect their voting patterns or other active forms of psychological intervention" 😬 forbes.com/sites/kalevlee…
@Forbes The US Social Science Research Council also declined to say that SS1 would allow researchers with direct ties to Gov Intelligence, saying it was 'to be determined' rather than a ban 
More worrying is that the US SSRC ruled out allowing researchers in Social Science One to interfere in live elections in other countries.
So potentially, democracies around the world could be disrupted by rogue researchers given access to the 2b facebook profiles .. marvellous

Deserves reposting to show just how little facebook thinks of it's users when the company allows this to happen to them.
And then we have a risk of anyone of these facebook researchers interfering in live elections throughout the world. Its staggering.
slight correction, that should say 'declined to rule out allowing researchers'
a just reminder by Arron Greenspan of how out of control facebook are in regards to our democracies.
"Not possible to disrupt democracy the way facebook has, without committing crimes"
