Project ‘Gaydar’: An MIT experiment raises new questions about online privacy - The Boston Globe
- Using data from the social network Facebook, they made a striking discovery: just by looking at a person’s online friends, they could predict whether the person was gay. They did this with a software program that looked at the gender and sexuality of a person’s friends and, using statistical analysis, made a prediction.
