users'
data, we saw stories in the Washington Post last year that weren't as well reported as the PRISM story that said the NSA broke in to the data center communications between Google to itself and Yahoo to itself.

As scientists, we use that to help the way people interact online, but there's less altruistic applications, and there's a problem in that

users
don't want me to use that data, I think they should have the right to do that.
I want
users
to be informed and consenting
users
