Got this email earlier and I’m still upset about it. Some unnamed “team from , & ” fed our preprint through their “" to generate "suggestions" on how we could improve it.

This feels like some really shit study that seems to think asking for consent is optional. And like one that wants to spin out into an even shittier start-up in the future (hence not giving any names of team members)?

    @gedankenstuecke @academicchatter @hci agree on the shitiness of the lack of consent. I would also associate that with the ongoing decline of ethics in computer science as a discipline - the big tech culture is flowing into the discipline and the sense of break things is very noticeable...
