Facebook is not a public square. I love public spaces. Shouldn’t we pay for one? I don’t care if Facebook has a darling reputation; ought it run our public and private meeting spaces?
- thinkingemote 8y agoAre there any public spaces on the internet? I can't think of any. I'm not sure it would be possible to build one, legally, either.
- threatofrain 8y agoI view government funded web presence as a digital public space, it’s just not a meeting space. To me the difference in funding determines who has power.
- thinkingemote 8y agoAhh yes! And every real public space has its by laws and regulations too. Thanks.
- dblotsky 8y agoThere are many public spaces outside of Facebook, and they’re paid for with taxes.
- threatofrain 8y agoYes and what about digital meeting spaces; public-funded IRC?
