Demand five precepts to aid social-media watchdogs

Abstract

[...]2020, the United States' troublingly vague Computer Fraud and Abuse Act made researchers who violated a website's terms of service vulnerable to felony charges. [...]for publicly viewable content, allow researchers to combine and share data sets by supplying keys to application programming interfaces. [...]explicitly allow users to donate data about their online behaviour for research, and make code used for such studies publicly reviewable for security flaws.
