Obfuscation - 7 views

Mary Beth Davis on 05 Jun 11I was exploring the journal "First Monday" which was listed in the Google Docs table when I came across this topic of "Obfuscation." Besides just liking the sound of the word, I was fascinated by all the various forms in which digital obfuscation can take place. I thought this article might also be useful for my group project which involves Ethics and Technology. (This is also my first time bookmarking, or using Diigo!)

Maggie Murphy on 06 Jun 11Mary Beth, I added all those journals just FYI (so you don't think they were approved contributions by our expert prof; I hope they're all applicable!)

Jeanine Finn on 06 Jun 11Interesting! I like the broadened idea of "obfuscation" -- not just by writing prose that is untrue, but the way we organize or provide access to those words can also be obfuscating. Just making something hard enough to find or get to. A crappy taxonomy can be a weapon of deceit!
