This post was written in response to danah boyd’s post, “Facebook and Techcrunch: the costs of technological determinism and configuring users.” danah focused on recent (and not so recent) attempts by social network sites like Facebook to regulate how individuals relate to others when using their service. I noticed that danah’s argument—expressing a consistent point of view, whose development you can trace in her writing—reinforces the criticisms I made of the Spock service last December.
