Fair; have tried to combat this issue in a few ways.

Each model's position is scored against outside political-science data (Chapel Hill Expert Survey for party positions, World Values Survey for where populations sit).

The stance coding is done by a separate model with a published prompt + a second model from a different lab re-scores a sample and we publish where the two disagree.

So not perfect but (as far as I can tell) one of the more defensible approaches.

Where does your 'right to access information' come from?

If you need an argument in support of why Apple's move is really targeted at publishers like Facebook, take a look at the ATT/app tracking transparency prompt that Apple have designed.

It doesn't call out any of the benefits of allowing tracking (healthy for the free app ecosystem, helps publishers), rather it's just:

"Allow {app} to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites?"

It does - it provides advertisers data on which users have downloaded their app after seeing specific adverts.

Interesting to see on the 'Sorted by Net Shift' tab that a lot of the big risers are hip-hop. Sorted by the rankings in earlier years, these were nowhere to be found.
