  9. facebook Marturano & Bellucci, A Debordian Analysis of Facebook, at CEPE 2009: "Facebook and similar are rather new disguised forms of advanced capitalism that is trying to colonize the Internet by reducing the networking model to a more controllable (for old advanced capitalism) broadcasting model."

  10. Failing the promise • Wikipedia: democratic, but not individual • Another block: lack of privacy • How much information are we giving away? • Search engine: daily activities, business pursuits, personal thoughts[B. Gerber, SIGCAS, Dec. 2010] • What if combined with email, calendar? • Can we control our persona on the internet?

  11. Web Science J. Hendler et al., CACM, July 2008 • How to model the network? • Web graph • Connections, not content • Artificial languages + protocols • Does not explain popularity • How stable is the network? • Loose collection of standards • Key development tool: testing • Are services provided fairly?

  12. Web Science • What is an effective model for privacy? • Current view: friends around the table • Can’t ensure such things as “my employer will never see this picture” • How to develop a better model? • Suggestion: need multiple, interconnected social network providers • Each would capture a different social process • Need technologies allowing user communities to construct, share, and adapt social machines

  13. Summary • What do we need to realize a “virtual self”? • Free, open, reliable communication • Control on how that information is distributed • Web science • attempting to remove barriers at the technical level • Open question: what are the other barriers?
