I agree wholeheartedly with the "what's wrong with the pub" sentiment. I think that this critique falls far short of what doctorow had to say on the topic. My eyes quickly glazed over when the action cut to theil playing the role of neocon libertarian dr. evil teaming up with the singularity institute and thevanguard.org to destroy reality. It seems that a large part of the author's problem with facebook is the political views of its investors.
- tarkin2 19y agoI was going to support the "What's wrong with the pub?" part as well. He's incorrect when he says it disconnects us, at least some of the time: I've got in contact with long lost friends through it. But if he arguing geographically close people use it instead of "going down the pub", and if that's true (which I'm undecided), then I agree with him. To the others, the British sense of neoconservatism means liberal economics policies (less regulation) and conservative social policies. His rant was interesting at least. I still view my facebook membership as a little worrying. But still, it's the best way to get in contact with long lost friends at the moment (in addition to being hugely annoying which most of humanity seems to like...).
