We got an invitation to participate in a survey conducted by this group:

https://www.norc.org/Pages/default.aspx

snips from the letter they sent:

quote:
Dear [name of my town] Community Member,

We need your help....

A world-renowned research institute, NORC at the University of Chicago, is adminstering the 2020 Election Research Project (ERP Survey). When you participate in the ERP Survey, your opinions and experiences will help researchers at New York University, The University of Texas at Austin, and other academic institutions, in partnership with Facebook, to understand more about public opinion in the upcoming election.


They enclosed a dollar bill and if you choose to participate you're paid $10 for each survey, four in total.

I was all set to participate until I saw that Facebook is part of the study. Why is it that anything with FB's name on it makes me suspicious?

The last time I did one of those surveys, I think I ended up getting like $50 all told, it was a Nielson (Nielsen?) one, no FB.

I agree, FB is pretty suspect these days.

I don't f b. I don't twit, either. I despair of the fact that these private, unregulatred, unaccountable, and proven pretty damn sketchy (Cambridge Analytica) platforms have become the assumed standard for communication.

I wasn't too thrilled when MS Word's native format gradually became an accepted standard for document interchange -- RTF and PDF were slightly less privately-controlled.

Fume, fume, fume.
