Sample Comments
Isn't having access to the data the whole point of this?
Still horrendous. Where's that data going?
It's a misuse of the data collected
Don't worry, it's only the data that is unethical.
That data isn't as useful as you're implying.
Just because the data exists doesn't mean it is used.
You haven’t asserted how it’s bad data. Perhaps it’s also inconvenient data?
honestly, who cares about that data?
Getting more data is useless if it's not the right data.
I'm glad to hear you are not hoovering up this data for your own purposes.
