What WikiLeaks revealed to the world in 2010 - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com - 1 views

    Throughout this year I've devoted substantial attention to WikiLeaks, particularly in the last four weeks as calls for its destruction intensified.  To understand why I've done so, and to see what motivates the increasing devotion of the U.S. Government and those influenced by it to destroying that organization, it's well worth reviewing exactly what WikiLeaks exposed to the world just in the last year:  the breadth of the corruption, deceit, brutality and criminality on the part of the world's most powerful factions.

    In an email discussion about building a distributed, decentralized internet, the question came up whether it is better to use facebook with all its inherent controls and dangers to privacy, or whether it would be a better choice to abandon it. My view, which I stated, was that for now, I prefer to communicate, but I am conscious of the dangers.

    You hear it again and again, varia­tion after varia­tion on a core mes­sage: if you tax rich peo­ple it kills jobs. You hear about "job-killing tax hikes," or that "tax­ing the rich hurts jobs," "taxes kill jobs," "taxes take money out of the economy, "if you tax the rich they won't be able to pro­vide jobs." ... on and on it goes. So do we rea­l­ly de­pend on "the rich" to "create" jobs? Or do jobs get created when they fill a need?

PR Blogger: Deutsche Bahn gerät mit neuem Facebook-Angebot unter Druck - 0 views

  • Kaum hatte die Seite das Licht der Facebook-Welt erblickt, folgten auch schon die ersten negativen Kommentare. Am Anfang beschränkte sich die Kritik noch auf das "mitgelieferte" Video. Von "arm" oder "verwerflich" war die Rede, "Den Werber (...) solltet ihr rauswerfen!", kommentierte zum Beispiel Manuel. Reaktion durch die Betreuer der Seite: Null. Wenig später schoss sich dann die Facebook-Gemeinde auf die Bahn selbst und ihr Social Media-Auftreten ein. Die Frage nach einer Moderation wurde immer lauter.
  • Die Bilanz nach neun Stunden: Auf insgesamt 37 Posts (die eigenen eingeschlossen) hatten die Betreiber es geschafft, sechs Mal zu kommentieren. Fünf Mal wurde bei einem eigenen und einmal wurde auf einen "externen" Post kommentiert. Ein Online-Dialog auf Facebook sollte einfach anders aussehen. Wer sagt, die Bahn reagiere nur auf inhaltliche Posts zu ihrem "Chefticket" (das eigentlich mit der Seite beworben werden soll), liegt falsch. Fragen, wie der Kunde denn das Ticket über Facebook bezahlt oder überhaupt genau bekommt, blieben ebenfalls unbeantwortet.
  • Interessanter Punkt am Rande ist, dass die Facebook-Vanity-Url "facebook.com/deutschebahn" einer Privatperson gehört - hat die Bahn gar kein Interesse daran? Apropos: Eine allgemeine Facebook-Seite der Bahn gibt es auch. Aber ob die echt ist, ist stark zu bezweifeln. Obwohl, nach dem heutigen Fehlstart der Deutschen Bahn ist eigentlich alles möglich.

      Entscheidungen werden von mehr Leuten mitgetragen ... müssen dadurch aber nicht besser werden. Ich sehe die Gefahr des großen "Blufs" ... Zahlt es sich aus, die MAssen begeistern zu wollen (die anscheinend ja nicht von selbst kommen), ist eine kleine elitäre Gruppe hochgradig involvierter nicht besser? Surowiecky sagt, dass kogintionsprobleme (wie viele Drops sind im dem Glas, wie schwer ist die Kuh?) sehr gut von der Masse gelöst werden, über beteiligung im Government meint er: "making policy in a democracy is not a cognition problem; it is a cooperation and coordination problem with fuzzier and less definitive answers" und ist der Meinung Wisdow of the crowd wäre hier nicht direkt anwendbar.

  • open government initiative sounds good in theory, the statute is still too vague:
  • problem is a loophole in the Open Government Directive itself. By asking agencies to only inventory their “high-value” data it gave them an instant out for just about anything.

    "This relates to something I have been saying for a long time - that the conservative movement badly needs a counter reformation, an insurrection by reasonable grownups who are brave enough to push back against the forces of bilious unreason and Culture War that have taken over an entire wing of the "left-right spectrum." Is there any hope that this might happen?"
