Academics: Shutting down Facebook API damages research, oversight, competition • The Register

'This should be through a separate research API, they said, as opposed there being just one API for research, third-party end-user apps and commercial analytics firms. '

'Broadly, this will see a commission of independent academics develop a research agenda, then review and sign-off on research proposals that would win funds and access to the relevant Facebook data. '

'Facebook had tried to head these concerns off, announcing a research initiative at about the same time as it revealed the API changes. '

'Facebook’s API lock-down will hurt legitimate researchers and damage scrutiny of social networks, a group of boffins have warned. '

'They say this should involve open engagement with the research community beyond the select few that have got ‘in’ with Silicon Valley, and offer broad-based data access for any research that can demonstrate ethics or data protection board approval. '
