Facebook will pay hundreds of thousands of users to quit the app ahead of the election so it can study the platform's impact on politics

for the study, a partnership with 17 outside academic researchers that aims to "better understand the impact of Facebook and Instagram on key political attitudes and behaviors."

Dwoskin captured screenshots of notifications sent to some Instagram users this week asking them how much they'd have to be compensated to deactivate their accounts, giving them options of $10, $15, or $20 per week. Facebook expects between 200,000 and 400,000 people to eventually participate."Anyone who chooses to opt-in — whether it's completing surveys or deactivating FB or IG for a period of time — will be compensated.

I need to know when this starts. I know about 20 people that would love to try this.

🙋‍♀️ I'm in!!

Just shutdown Facebook completely. It’s turned into a big trash dump.

I deleted mine 10 years ago. Hit me up Zuck! 😂

Oh god please please please

Where do I signup?

10-20$ per week? What a joke.

Is your personal intellectual property worth as little as Zuck thinks? I think not.

Direly needed as their influential role in politics is concerning.

That is huge.They are changing their policy as regards politics and US election.l just hope people can stop using vicious and uncouth language on others.
