Check out the comments, which require a Facebook account.
A young marketing executive has made an innocuous comment on this somewhat elaborate joke. Suppose his/her boss thought that video games were a waste of time and saw that comment on his Facebook feed. "What are you doing watching this stupid video game recording?"
What this brings up is that the surveillance inherent in social media is different from traditional surveillance. As more-and-more websites encourage you to log into your social media account to use their website, so the degree to which other people can see what websites you are browsing. Its a gradual increase in sousveillance of one's own browsing habits for your online social network to see.
I am not criticizing anyone, but merely remarking at the growth of, for instance, Facebook beyond Facebook.com.
Edit: I just noticed the check box. It is actually optional, in this case, whether to make your comment appear on Facebook.com. Nevertheless, people's real names are appearing thereon.
