Can I modify the analogy in one important way? Let's say that the only way you could hear this speech that is being blasted all over is to visit a kiosk and put on a pair of headphones.
Facebook doesn't own the public spaces. They own the kiosks. How absurd that people drop their frisbees and basketballs and briefcases and crowd into these stupid kiosks to put on the headphones. Then some get outraged at what is going on in these "public spaces".
- keenmaster 6y agoThat's the same kiosk where you go to interact with friends, post and view statuses and pictures, coordinate with local groups, and then get crack cocaine (social validation) to remind you to come back again. Significantly fewer people whom you care about are at the other kiosks, so you don't visit them. That's why I thought the public square analogy was more apt as-is.
