Turning facebook and the internet into surveillance society?

As I was reading on Pusha's "what's hot" today, I noticed a youtube video highlighting the integrity issues associated with Facebook which I'd like to recommend to people:

Regardless of whether the somewhat far-fetched associations between facebook and the Central Intelligence Agency and the Information Awareness Office are accurate or not, it's a fact facebook is a data miner's or marketers wet dream. Also, I am becoming more and more convinced that authorities or illicit players won't be the major concern on the Internet of tomorrow - instead everyone will be so closely knit together on the Social Internet and through what's essentially Sousveillance (webcams, microblogs, whatever) that anything done outside this essentially volontary cage will be looked upon suspiciously... except if you manage to create yourself a double life, or build your unabomber hut.

The Internet will be this huge conservative village where everyone must strive to show only their most normal faces. And you can't move away from the Internet village with the pretense of going to college or anything. In that village, no-one dares to come out as gay, or maybe, just maybe... that can be a somewhat better and more humane village than the ones we have today. What do you think?

Dead poets rising against surveillance (brilliant video)

As I've been writing before, finally the Swedish media are being awakened (largely by the "blogosphere" or whatever you wish to call the social internet) about the abyss of surveillance society suddenly appearing right in front of us. It's not every day I am touched to tears by a youtube video, unfortunately it's only understandable in Swedish. Again from Erik at Framtidstanken:

Another notable participant in the debate is Patrik Fältström, our own IETF guru sharing his expert opinion and linking further to other good articles on the topic.

By the way, I am convinced that we're focusing too much on how Big Brother may watch us, and are forgetting about... our other siblings. I've got to write something about sousveillance and the clowd soon.
