There is tremendous value to society in doing large-scale A/B studies, and the current framework we have for human subjects research is a poor match for the 21st century. Furthermore, the Facebook mood study is just one of many examples of challenges we as a community will face in the future as increasingly powerful tools for understanding and influencing human behavior are developed and deployed. How can we make sure that these studies are done ethically, in a way that offers substantive protections to people, and in a manner that scales?
