Facebook Boots NYU Disinformation Researchers Off Its Platform And Critics Cry Foul By
at 3:45 pm NPR
Facebook has blocked a team of New York University researchers studying political ads and COVID misinformation from accessing its site, a move that critics say is meant to silence research that makes the company look bad.
The researchers at the NYU Ad Observatory launched a tool last year to collect data about the political ads people see on Facebook. Around 16,000 people have installed the browser extension. It enables them to share data on which ads they re shown and why those ads were targeted at them with the researchers.

Facebook has cut off some academic researchers for scraping data from the platform, sparking a fresh controversy about the leading social network s transparency to outside experts studying misinformation and abusive content.
The California tech giant acted late Tuesday to block the research from New York University s Ad Observatory Project, citing privacy concerns.
Facebook product management director Mike Clark said the accounts from the project were disabled to stop unauthorized scraping and protect people s privacy in line with our privacy program.
