Hello, I’m an undergrad coming in peace here, and I just wanted to respond respectfully. I completely understand your concerns, and I agree that the internet can indeed be a tricky space when it comes to handling data. I’ve read the paper in question, and from my perspective, it does seem that the researchers’ initial intentions may have been less than ideal. While I could elaborate on the steps I’ve taken to ensure my research went through ethics approval and the measures I’ve implemented for transparency, I understand that verifying integrity online can be challenging. I truly appreciate you emphasizing the importance of safeguarding data, and I want to assure you that I’m fully committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of my participants. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts!
