Mother. Fucker. Remember those CCPA scam emails (I wrote about at blog.freeradical.zone/post/ccp)? Well, if you got one, turns out you were the unwitting participant in a human subject research study by Princeton University (see privacystudy.cs.princeton.edu).

If you lost any sleep or money dealing with this, they're the ones who owe it to you.

@pluralistic This seems like something you'd be interested in. The short version is that Princeton and Radboud Universities sent scary-sounding CCPA compliance emails to a lot of test subjects who didn't volunteer to participate in their research, including lots of Mastodon admins.

@omni @pluralistic Right? I seriously, legitimately, freaked the hell out because I thought I was about to get sued. I'm absolutely furious.
