The page you linked to said, "The survey is completely anonymous and confidential, and we do not ask for any identifying information," but that simply is not true. The system is set up to kick out anyone using the tor browser to protect their privacy. Tor browser users are greeted with a message that says: "Access Denied You don't have permission to access http://universityofkent.****trics.com/jfe/form/SV_blpImGM4S6NQwQK? on this server. Reference #18.9a071002.1746204286.ccd8c91 https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.9a071002.1746204286.ccd8c91" It's no big deal, since all you've got to do if you want to participate in the experiment is disable tor and give the system access to your personal information such as IP address. If someone wanted to use that IP address to find out who you are and where you live, all they would have to do would be to either get a law enforcement representative to contact the your internet service provider to request your identity or else pose as a law enforcement rep themselves and trick your internet service provider into revealing your full name, street address, email address and phone number on file as well as any data collected by your ISP about your data usage and other online behaviors. Unless you are worried about this information, combined with the answers you give to the survey, being used by someone who doesn't have your best interests in mind, go ahead and disable tor and have fun, especially if you have nothing to hide and no children in your life. Sadly, the fact that the experiment self selects for people who either have nothing to hide or don't know how to protect their privacy means that the experiment results will surely be skewed and not representative of the BC population in general or of any non-filtered population. ![]() |
