in the cases of companies that are doing any sort of experimentation, and the word "experiment" is a bit charged, doing anything that is studying user activity, i think they have to be both clear about their intention of who benefits from that activity if the consumer, individual consumer benefits from the activity by the improvement of their services, then i think there's room to be able to make sure those experiments are done with the greatest awareness and courtesy and respect to the consumer. i think there are plenty of cases where we also have the challenge to your point that most consumers do not realize how much information is gathered about them. that, to me, is the gap we have to bridge. >> give some advice to a social media company that wanted to do an experiment like that to inform users appropriately, act appropriately in order to avoid the creepy factor. so often product development, the product in a lot of these cases is how you interact with your friends. >> exactly. >> which seems much more personal than buying a candy bar. >> that is a really great point. i think in
