> researchers there overwhelmingly were against privacy and consent

in my experience privacy is viewed as from the public eye, not from being a (hidden) data point in a research project. and consent? to quantify someone and crunch numbers? lmao grudgingly acknowledged at best and only because the IRB requires it. people only care because you need their blessing to get anywhere

tbh I don't see an issue with that way of thinking. someone crunching personal data in private isn't at all the same thing as providing a publicly searchable index
