Facebook apparently added "research" to their terms of service months
after psych study, may have included children

"Four months after this study happened, in May 2012, Facebook made
changes to its data use policy, and that's when it introduced this line
about how it might use your information: For internal operations,
including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research and
service improvement. Facebook helpfully posted a red-line version of
the new policy, contrasting it with the prior version from September
2011 which did not mention anything about user information being used
in research."
