Thanks for the quick reply! I'm really in the same boat as you, as I do not want to create a system where an "identity police" can create eligibility by the length of noses. > When you make that official policy [...] abusi

Thank you for sharing your experience! I see "race" as a problematic variable as well. That's why I like to talk about origin, as in "what did the parents do?", "do the kids have access to careers outside of wh

Regarding "engagement rate": is your banner filtered by ad blockers? In my session, there's no banner displayed. Could also be a hint on why mobile browsers are more likely to enable engagement, since they might lack CSS filt
