Some people expressed concern about privacy on the survey. Originally, respondents could see aggregate responses, including the responses of people who marked their answers private. I figured this was okay because nobody\u2019s responses could be connected \u2013 ie you could see that one person put their age as 83, and another person put their country as Canada, but because the table order wasn\u2019t the same you couldn\u2019t link these together to form a coherent picture of an 83 year old Canadian. Some people still expressed concern about a few of the long answers, since some people might have put personal information in there. There\u2019s no way for me to eliminate only the private people\u2019s responses from Google Forms and still display the information to you like this, so instead I\u2019ve removed all long answer questions. If you\u2019re interested in those, you can find them in the downloadable data files. Sorry for not doing this earlier, and I hope this compromise is okay to everyone. I\u2019ll try to get a clearer picture of what people want before the next survey.

I\u2019ll be publishing more complicated analyses over the course of the next year, hopefully starting later this week. If you want to scoop me, or investigate the data yourself, you can download the answers of the 7000 people who agreed to have their responses shared publicly. The public datasets will not exactly match the full version, some overly identifiable questions (eg age) will be binned, and a few sensitive subjects will not be included.
