For this conversation, I want to discuss two aspects of ethics in particular: the rights of participants and the responsibilities of researchers. To begin, let’s all read the article “The ethics of the Facebook experiment”)ارتباطات إلى موقع خارجي. and use these questions to guide your post:
a) What does informed consent typically involve in research? Do you think that this statement in the PNAS article allows people full informed consent?
b) What do you think? What’s your evaluation of the beneficence of this research? Was true harm done to participants?
c) What’s your view? When, if ever, is it ethical for a commercial site like Facebook to manipulate content and measure your (clicking) behavior, and when, if ever, is it not ethical?
