That's a major missing hypothesis that seriously undermines your conclusion.

Why do you need me to share data at all? Just create brand new accounts and test what they see in a more controlled manner. Then you'll be able to test what's recommended from the same accounts over time while building any specific profiles yourself.

That's against FB's and IG's terms of service, so as an investigative outlet, they can't really do that and then promote the results.
