Is it just me or is the data presentation completely terrible

I thought the data visualization was pretty good. How would you improve it? A profession by profession table with the raw numbers would be more useful. Perhaps a Hinton Diagram would be a better visualization.

It depends on what you want to convey. For example, as a layman and someone who likes structured data, I want to find out "what are the top professions for the offspring of profession X"? To me, this screams like a sorted table of some kind with a selection.

The relative sized bars are cool in terms of animation but man, they are a pain to read.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Where's the ethical concern here? Familial relationships can be explicitly provided as can occupation. If it's all self-reported data then what's the problem? The problem with the emotion manipulation study was that they were effecting people's psychology, not just click behavior. Which is creepy, especially because it apparently worked.

I find it interesting that you don't see the problem. I suspect that is a large part of why companies like FB and the various advertising networks are utterly blind to what will eventually be their downfall. Here is a nice example of a sample consent form the kind of which one would expect to fill out before having one's data be used for any kind of study: https://www.irb.cornell.edu/forms/sample.htm Not being inform…

Consent is given through the click-through user agreement and the data policy https://www.facebook.com/policy.php . It's no different, and anything more is impractical. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of tests being done simultaneously on overlapping user populations.
