Dear Data Scientist, Programmers and other interested in the whole big data revolution and how we can tap the numerous information available online to improve policies and programs.

I've been a bit worried about what this saga would mean for the future of access to "big data". More importantly with the option of a paid Facebook platform that collects less user information. Is this likely to affect anything or what should we anticipate in the next few years as researchers and analysts.

I look forward to your contributions
