It is here, of course, that Mr. Zuckerberg enters.
The human race has susceptibility to harm but Mr. Zuckerberg has attained an unenviable record: he has done more harm to the human race than anybody else his age.
Because he harnessed Friday night. That is, everybody needs to get laid and he turned it into a structure for degenerating the integrity of human personality and he has to a remarkable extent succeeded with a very poor deal. Namely, I will give you free web hosting and some PHP doodads and you get spying for free all the time. And it works.
Thats the sad part, it works.
How could that have happened?
There was no architectural reason, really. There was no architectural reason really. Facebook is the Web with I keep all the logs, how do you feel about that? Its a terrarium for what it feels like to live in a panopticon built out of web parts.
And it shouldnt be allowed. It comes to that. It shouldnt be allowed. Thats a very poor way to deliver those services. They are grossly overpriced at spying all the time. They are not technically innovative. They depend upon an architecture subject to misuse and the business model that supports them is misuse. There isnt any other business model for them. This is bad.
Im not suggesting it should be illegal. It should be obsolete. Were technologists, we should fix it.
