“similar fate at similar #scale…this is the way of things…if #Facebook is evil, they’ve been evil for long…people either didn’t care enough to look or look enough to care. People clearly care enough now. This is front page of @nytimes stuff.“

“The approval of Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram is the business equivalent of invading Iraq—nobody asked, ‘What might happen?’ Facebook, Google, and Amazon have become this counsel of child-elders who get to decide who lives or dies in our economy.”

"La #culturaviva de los pueblos se elabora constantemente a partir del uso, el intercambio, la reinterpretación y el ensamblaje de elementos de culturas diversas. Esta tarea tiene un sentido creativo, expresivo, liberador, ya que amplía el #patrimoniocultural, le da nuevos sentidos, lo somete a la crítica y lo pone en relación con elementos de otras culturas."

"Si no torrenteamos la cultura, la cultura se netflixea"

On the "globally tragic, ridiculous mistake" made at the foundation of #digitalculture. "We can't have a society in which, if two people wish to communicate, the only way that can happen is if it's financed by a third person who wishes to manipulate them."

"In the environmental world, Hardin’s "Tragedy of the #commons" is, if anything, more urgent after 50 years. But the enclosure of the commons of the mind (#digitalcommons) has showed the limits of the argument.
As his article heads into its 2nd half-century, it would be nice to think that we could learn to see the comedies of the intangible commons as clearly as he saw the tragedy of the terrestrial one."
James Boyle on the 50th anniversary of "The tragedy of the commons"

"..[a partir] da '#Ética Protestante e o Espírito do #Capitalismo' de #MaxWeber, pensemos na 'Ética #Neopentecostal e o Espírito do #Neoliberalismo'.

Porque na #política [assim como no desenvolvimento de #softwarelivre] ninguém perde a guerra. Não existe a guerra, com começo, meio e fim. É só batalha. Uma atrás da outra."

"#Magerman has given more than $400,000 to the campaign #FreedomfromFacebook because he believes #Facebook has too much power over how the world communicates.

A Republican consulting firm — #Definers Public Affairs — working for Facebook tried to link the Freedom from Facebook campaign with #GeorgeSoros, whose #OpenSociety Foundations help fund the #OpenMarkets Institute, the New York Times reported on Wednesday."

Joi Ito: "The #hippieculture that drove the rise of the GDE failed to completely fulfill the promise of new technology, but those anaerobic hippies did leave Gen Z a whole new set of tools to deploy. The new generation are the warm-blooded mammals able to thrive in an environment no longer appropriate for their cold-blooded ancestors. My generation and the hippies are the anaerobic bacteria heading toward the mud."

"Em 2018, o usuário criativo onipotente de 2006 se tornou um viciado em conteúdo com algo de zumbi, que não para de girar telas e apertar botões de like, aprisionado eternamente nas jaulas invisíveis dos mercadores de dados.
O #futurodigital que nos aguarda — dominado por centralização, ineficiência, opacidade e controle — torna-se difícil de perceber."

"What Carole #Cadwalladr has done to #Facebook and #bigdata, and Edward #Snowden has done to the state security complex [& #privacy], the young Kazakhstani scientist Alexandra #Elbakyan has done to the multibillion-dollar industry that traps knowledge behind #paywalls. #SciHub, her pirate web scraper service, has done more than any government to tackle one of the biggest rip-offs of the modern era: the #capture of publicly funded research that should belong to us all."

the #FlexibleWorker.

"In a twist on #Marx’s utopian dream, such a worker can, 'knit #Etsy scarves in the morning, drive #Uber cars in the afternoon, and write #Facebook comments at night, flexibly shifting between jobs and leisure at will.”

Of course, the neoliberal utopia of a sharing economy has been shaken by a multitude of analyses that, emphasize precarity, surveillance, control, low earnings, and insecure conditions.
If the Uber model is the future of work... "

Why technology favors tiranny
"#AI makes it possible to process enormous amounts of information centrally.
The conflict between #democracy and #dictatorship is actually a conflict between two different #dataprocessing systems. AI may swing the advantage toward the latter."

“in the 21st century it is the flow of #attention, not information (which we already have too much of), that matters.
Power always learns, and powerful tools always fall into its hands.
It was a shift from a public, collective politics to a more private, scattered one, with political actors collecting more and more #personaldata to figure out how to push just the right buttons, person by person and out of sight."
