Zuckerberg: "the age of privacy is over". "We view it as our role in the system to constantly be innovating and be updating what our system is to reflect what the current social norms are."
"A lot of companies would be trapped by the conventions and their legacies of what they've built, doing a privacy change - doing a privacy change for 350 million users is not the kind of thing that a lot of companies would do. But we viewed that as a really important thing, to always keep a beginner's mind and what would we do if we were starting the company now and we decided that these would be the social norms now and we just went for it." My answer to it: fra: "the age of facebook draws to a close." If you see it from the closed perspective of a Harvard campus it might look like the whole world is open and friendly now - and deserves that we all spread our most private information searchable for anyone. Fact is that every information you put on the web will turn against you sometime somewhere in a moment you can't foresee. I simply do not think that the structures of power in this world are ready to deal with the openness of its citicens. Every step in the so called "war against terror" proves me right. If Zuckerberg keeps his open facebook policy I see the whole world go more schizophrenic then ever. But still the problem remains: Who would believe you if you state: Well - that's not me, that's only my blog? fra link: http://tinyurl.com/yadgm8x
