Clinical studies, try to address various factors beyond does the drug technically work, but does it work in practice (coping with people doing everyday things like having dementia, drinking or babies).
We have a flawed obsession with responsible disclosure (that we should mandate includes public disclosure). What we need is a framework for Software Studies that allows any nature of research including in at risk areas and they should answer to ethics committee and regulators, not a disclosure terms of service from the company likely to be put in a bad light.
We need an equivalent to ICH GxP. Drugs have to deal with all the same craziness as software, they're just centuries ahead at how to do it (although they still fail at public disclosure).
Was this study appropriate? Whilst Google corrupts the security integrity of the internet with its Ad and Analytics system, it shouldn't be complaining. For the rest of us, I think we need to pressure for regulation if you want to draw lines and look to the drug industry for inspiration. At the very least we need InfoSec Trials if not the whole suite of Software.
