I’ve seen a few of these anecdotes now. I know you can disable copy+paste in Qualtrics via JavaScript, but if Qualtrics can hear me, a “disable copy+paste” survey options button within the Qual survey design platform would be cool beans

Ever read a psychological study and thought, “Wait… isn’t this just proving what we already knew?” Yeah, me too. So I wrote a paper about it. Turns out, asking “Are bad things bad?” isn’t groundbreaking. Features phubbing, technoference, & other pseudoempirical stars. tmb.apaopen.org/pub/5zfg49sw...

"Do we need proper oversight and regulation of social media? You bet...But I can only conclude that despite the heated bipartisan rhetoric of blame, scapegoating social media is more convenient to politicians than turning their shared anger into sensible legislation." www.nytimes.com/2023/12/27/o...

Blaming social media for all kinds of social ills is more convenient to politicians than turning their shared anger into sensible legislation.
