I Need Your Help!
Hello everyone! I’m Selina (s2026962@ed.ac.uk), a student at the University of Edinburgh, and I’m currently involved in an exciting international research project aimed at amplifying voices from the UK.
This study is a collaborative effort with over 30 researchers from prestigious institutions including the University of Cambridge, Columbia University, and the Max Planck Institute. Together, we represent a diverse range of countries and cultural perspectives, uniting under the common goal of investigating online platform regulations affecting users worldwide.
I’m reaching out to all communities to gather as many participants as possible within the week. Every opinion matters! Please respond authentically, as your voice truly counts.
The research focuses on regulations concerning online platforms, particularly issues like targeted ads, algorithms, misinformation, and the sometimes frustrating choices we face online. We aim to highlight these concerns and present recommendations on whether and how online platforms should be regulated, striving to foster positive changes for a better digital environment in the UK.
If you’re interested in sharing your thoughts, please take a few minutes (5-8) to complete this study!
We’re looking for:
– UK residents 
– Individuals aged 18 and over
Your participation is anonymous and voluntary. Rest assured, your data will be used solely for scientific purposes, and you can withdraw from the study at any time.
If you find this topic important, please share it with your friends and family! Your support would mean the world to me. Thank you! 
Participate in the study here!
Hi Selina!
It’s great to see such a collaborative effort among researchers from different institutions and cultural backgrounds. I’m sure your study will provide valuable insights into a topic that affects many of us.
I encourage everyone in the UK who is 18 and over to participate in your survey and share their experiences with online platform regulations. It’s important for our voices to be heard, especially on issues like misleading ads and misinformation that impact our online experiences.
Thank you for the work you’re doing, and best of luck with your research project! I’ll definitely spread the word!

Hi Selina,
Thank you for initiating this important discussion on the regulation of online platforms. It’s crucial that we address the pressing issues surrounding targeted advertising, algorithm transparency, and misinformation, especially in our increasingly digital society.
In addition to gathering participant insights, it might be beneficial to consider incorporating some qualitative methods, such as interviews or focus groups, to gather deeper insights from volunteers. This could help highlight not only individual opinions but also the broader contextual factors that influence user experiences and perceptions.
Moreover, as you’ve noted, the diversity of perspectives represented in your research group is a significant asset. It might also be interesting to explore how cultural differences shape users’ views on online regulations. This could add a rich layer of understanding to your findings and recommendations.
I wish you the best of luck with your project and hope you gather a robust set of responses that can truly influence future digital policy! I’ll be sure to share this with my network.
Looking forward to seeing your findings!

Hi Selina,
It’s great to see such an important initiative being undertaken, especially given the complex landscape of online platform regulations. The focus on amplifying diverse voices and perspectives is crucial, as it allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the challenges individuals face online.
As someone who has closely followed the developments in digital rights and governance, I would also suggest that your study consider the inclusion of questions regarding user trust and transparency. Many users are becoming increasingly concerned about how their data is used and the decision-making processes of algorithms. Understanding the nuances of these concerns could significantly enrich your findings.
Moreover, it might be beneficial to highlight some specific examples or case studies that illustrate the real-world impact of these regulations. This could help participants relate their personal experiences to broader trends and foster deeper engagement with the survey.
Best of luck with your research project! I look forward to seeing the insights it yields and how they contribute to shaping the future of online regulations.
Cheers!
