Wasn't it the culture he built which led to the many iterations of permissions which were intentionally confusing in order to get you to share everything more publicly than you thought you were?

Yes, I think so too. But it sounds like he's renounced that. And of course, it could be bullshit to deflect criticism.

Even so, I've done lots of work with est / Landmark Education, and some with Lifespring, Tony Robbins and NLP. So I'm familiar with concepts of building relationships with family and friends, and broader social networking and community building. And a major aspect of that it honesty and open sharing, both 1:1 and in groups. it helps us see how much we're all the same, and builds empathy and love.

So when he talks about social hacking through sharing and strengthening relationships, I hear it through those filters. But I also hear his cynical comments about oversharing fools that sucks into Facebook.

so anyway, I'm curious where this will go. Facebook now allows signups via Tor, apparently with no texted authentication. And if he creates a privacy-frirndly version that emphasiuzes P2P communuication, that woutld be very cool.

Just as an FYI, Facebook have allowed signups through Tor for about 4-5 years now.

Yes, true. I've tested, but never actually used it. Because I never had a use for it. So I wonder if it eventually demands voice or text authentication.

Anyone know?
