I don't think the victims are unsuspecting and I also don't think they have a choice in the matter. > Accept it and go on with your life. Isn't that exactly what you say to someone when you're not giving them a say in what's happening in their life? > You are aware of how technology removes economic, cultural, lingual, even physical walls. Tech does remove walls but it also allows you to construct walls. That's a lot of what this letter is about isn't it? Facebook has become a tool for people to organize themselves into groups that have their own political beliefs and beliefs about reality. These groups were shielded from the ideas on the other side. Why? because these walls were more effective than the ones we had in the world before. Zuckerberg has decided this was bad because people voted the "wrong" way and wants to prevent it from happening again. You might agree with that stance, but don't delude yourself into thinking this is just some inherent feature of technology. There's human morals behind these decisions. |
