    Just a few months ago it was literally Meta itself…

    Well, it’s Meta. When it comes to science and academic research, they have rather strict rules and committees to ensure that an experiment is ethical.

      You may wish to reword. The unspecified “they” reads like you think Meta have strict ethical rules. Lol.

      Meta have no ethics whatsoever, and yes I assume you meant universities have strict rules however the approval of this study marks even that as questionable

      The headline is that they advertised beauty products to girls after they detected them deleting a selfie. No ethics or morals at all
