I can offer some initial thoughts that researchers should not be doing it for a commercial benefit and that they maintain adequate protections of privacy where it is pertinent. For some platforms, the data would be public. For other platforms, it is not, so very careful consideration of user privacy will be important here. Then I think there needs to be some degree of auditing to ensure that we are receiving the appropriate data with enforcement mechanisms to follow.
