If there’s not much talk about it, you will use it more. Social Networks are the current fashion, and not just among young people.

Names, sexual preferences, music, film, friendship, love picture video ….

A wealth of information, a potential gold mine for marketing agencies but also to the Ministries of Interior.

When we saw for the first time Facebook, we thought, with a wry smile, that was the work of the CIA.

In fact, Facebook, container par excellence of this precious mine of personal information, may seem like the postmodern dream of a dictatorship of the last century, detailed views and preferences of tens of millions of men kept up to date …. in the hands of whom?

The other side of the coin is a new, formidable tool to test organizational models, promote events, even food revolution.

Or at least that is what the media say about the so-called traditional Arab riots.

It would seem, in fact, that without social media Ben Ali and Mubarak would still be in place in Syria or that there would be “days of rage.” But is it true?

The reflection on the use / abuse of Social Networks raises, or better lifts, some substantive issues, both historically and inexorably linked to the use of the network, where every action is tracked, where every action can potentially be monitored, where maintaining privacy and anonymity Coast commitment, hard work and advanced skills on average.

And beyond the more refined knowledge confidentiality is not always possible.

 At the same time, the Internet is represented, and perhaps still is a great means of communication, which led to the opening passages of media freedom in armored systems, break down barriers, to share experiences.

For years the network has nurtured the dream of information more democratic, it certainly has given space and voice actors invisible, in some cases has allowed uncomfortable news come to light (among all, the Aldrovandi is the most emblematic case).

In this context, is part of the Italian anomaly, represented by a media system linked to more than any other large industrial groups and in which the largest publishers, Silvio Berlusconi, is also the President of the Council of Ministers.

Publicam acest call-out pentru ca stim ca stirea conform careia serviciile secrete se folosesc de retelele de socializare pentru un control mai eficient al activismului nu e noua.

Asta pentru ca, actionand conform modei de care se vorbeste in articol, activistii isi uploadeaza fotografii cu ei si prietenii lor, isi trec in configuratia contului date reale…

Cu putin “common sense”, aceasta urmarire din partea autoritatilor ar putea fi extrem de limitata.

Avem si noi cont de facebook, prin care ajutam la raspandirea articolelor.

Dar niciunul dintre noi nu isi va pune nume / prenume / CNP / adresa in contul de facebook…

Ar fi prea stupid asa… Cata vreme lumea e incapatanata sa foloseasca facebook, nu vom renunta sa ii facem pe oameni atenti la realitatile din jur si vom raspandi si prin intermediul acelui site stirile si articolele promovate de noi.

Sau vom face asta pana cand contul ne va fi sters de catre facebook, caci stim ca li s-a mai intamplat si altora…
