Psych experimentation is not the same as datamining.

ok? Facebook’s entire business model is selling its users data to advertisers, that’s why their IPO was initially a bust, because their user base was inflated with sock accounts. They do use psychological techniques to keep users coming back, not sure if I’d call that experimentation.

Their objection of Cambridge doing the same thing is pretty hypocritical.
