jmFacebook events, Facebook pages, Facebook photos, and Facebook videos are for many people an integral part of the church picnic, the Christmas party, the class reunion, the baby shower. (The growing scourge of gender reveal parties with their elaborate “reveal” rituals and custom-made cakes seems particularly designed to complement documentation on social media). The completeness of Facebook allows people to create better substitutes for in-person support groups in a wide range of ever-narrowing demographics — from casual interests like Instant Pot recipes for Korean food to heavy life-altering circumstances like rare forms of cancer.
Of all people, I know why I shouldn’t trust Facebook, why my presence on its network contributes to the collective problem of its monopolistic hold on people. Everyone is on Facebook because everyone is on Facebook. And because everyone is on Facebook, even the people who aren’t are having their data collected in shadow profiles. My inaction affects even the people who have managed to stay away. I know this, I barely use Facebook, I don’t even like Facebook, and I find it nearly impossible to leave.

jmThe next Pub Standards, on Thursday 13th November, will be the last one. When I started Pub Standards in August 2010, there wasn't very many meetups for people who build apps, interfaces and businesses. These days, there are loads! I don't feel that Pub Standards is needed anymore. It served it's purpose -- other meetups were formed, startups were founded, projects were created and people got hired. We had a good run :)

jmWhile many users may already expect and be willing to have their behavior studied — and while that may be warranted with “research” being one of the 9,045 words in the data use policy — they don’t expect that Facebook will actively manipulate their environment in order to see how they react. That’s a new level of experimentation, turning Facebook from a fishbowl into a petri dish, and it’s why people are flipping out about this.
Shocking stuff. We need a new social publishing platform, built on ethical, open systems.]]>ethics facebook privacy academia depression feelings emotion social-publishing social experimentation papershttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:08f60d5d8757/Flattr - Social micropayments2010-12-10T13:52:53+00:00
