I’m looking for people to take part in a study about people using tools (like Redact or PowerDeleteSuite) to prevent the use of their Reddit data to train AI.

Participation involves completing a short intake form and joining a 1-hour online interview. The study is with the University of Toronto.

As a token of thanks, you’ll receive a $30 (CAD) gift card for Amazon.

If you’re interested, you can hear more details and sign up at: https://qualtricsxmfw76s26sl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5uxalY9uIDKrctU

I'm seeing some reports on this post from people who are suspicious about its legitimacy. It looks to be the same format as other Canadian university studies I've seen, and the fediverse is the right place to find people for such a study. To me it looks legitimate.

Maybe I can do a verification from the admin side? If you can send us an email from your institution account to support@lemmy.ca, I can leave a comment confirming that you are indeed from UofT.

You could also post this in !reddit@lemmy.world

Thank you for giving me the chance to verify. I will send over an email now to verify that it's a legitimate study now.

If there's anything else that I can do to demonstrate this, just let me know.

And thank you for letting me know about the other location to post. I will post there for sure.

No problem! I can confirm that we received a verification from a University of Toronto email address.
