This document contains references to all instances of unethical human
experimentation committed by social media companies. The credit for this
of course goes to the respective authors who have done the real work of
documenting these crimes against humanity.

So there is no confusion, I define "unethical human experimentation" by
the ten points of the Nuremberg Code (emphasis my own).

1. *The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.*
   This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to
   give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free
   power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force,
   fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of
   constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and
   comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to
   enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This
   latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative
   decision by the experimental subject there *should be made known to
   him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment*; the method
   and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and
   hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or
   person which may possibly come from his participation in the
   experiment. The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality
   of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or
   engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility
   which may not be delegated to another with impunity.
2. The experiment should be such as to yield *fruitful results for the
   good of society*, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and
   not random and unnecessary in nature.
3. The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of
   animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the
   disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results
   will justify the performance of the experiment.
4. The experiment should be so conducted as to **avoid all unnecessary
   physical and mental suffering and injury**.
5. No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason
   to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except,
   perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also
   serve as subjects.
6. The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by
   the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the
   experiment.
7. **Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided
   to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities
   of injury, disability, or death.**
8. *The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified
   persons*. The highest degree of skill and care should be required
   through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage
   in the experiment.
9. **During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at
   liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the
   physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems
   to him to be impossible.**
10. During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be
    prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has
    probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith,
    superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a
    continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury,
    disability, or death to the experimental subject.
