From the article "Prolific, a tool for scientists conducting behavioral research, had no screening tools in place to make sure that it delivered representative population samples to each study.". I would argue that studies from this tool were already disrupted if you are not screening your users in some way.

Yes, that just means that any studies based on this platform were already wrong, it's just that no one knew.
