Jay Gabler

"By using social networks we voluntary put on public record ‘who we are’, ‘what we do’ and ‘what we think’, disclosing in this way our identity and the most intimate aspects of our lives—making them available at a click. In this sense, social websites can be understood not as tools for the advance of democracy and human rights—but rather as instruments that allow a cheap, quick, thorough and easier surveillance. This is made even more effective by the voluntary cooperation of its intended targets, who happily (and deliberately) fill in pages with private information and personal data to build their profiles and express their views."

“Technology will not advance democracy and human rights for (and instead of) you”. Zygmunt Bauman on the use and mis-use of new media. (via sociolab)

Yes, Zygmunt Bauman, I am indeed cooperating with people who want to cheaply, quickly, thoroughly, and easily stalk me.

Come at me!

Anybody want to see some Transformers pictures I drew when I was 12?

Anybody?

Hello?
