- yes, they think it's good for privacy(?)

IAAN. The first question is slightly off. It goes "is the Norwegian Data Protection Agency positive to the DGF?"

Surely a red warning text in the textarea element where the comment will be typed out is a better idea? The quiz still doesn't eliminate the need for moderation even though it _may_ have gone some way toward reducing that need.

If they forgot the intelligent thing they had to contribute then it wasn't intelligent to begin with - it's more likely to be a knee-jerk reaction. If people read the article properly they'll already have taken more time than would trigger a knee-jerk reaction.

a. "it depends"
