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).
Content is directly from:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Code#The_ten_points_of_the_Nuremberg_Code
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.
