How we use your posts for research purposes

Question 1

This platform is used for research (learn more). Researchers are encouraged to treat what we post into it as a window into societal, economic, technological, and political trends and transformations that affect all of us. As you participate in these discussion, you might reveal where you stand with respect to important societal, economic and political issues. Knowing this, which of the following best describes your position?

I do not fear bad consequences when sharing with others my views and alignment on societal, economic, technological and political issues.

I worry about the the risks involved in sharing my views and alignment online, where others (such as the government or my employer) could access them. But I will participate in the conversation on this platform under my real name.

Question 2

This platform is only loosely moderated, to avoid harassment and exploitative behaviour, but to allow unconstrained conversation. Knowing this, would you:

Share my credit card’s details at another participant’s request.

Engage in a conversation about important issues in my country, and how it should be reflected by the government’s policies.
