facebookMarturano & Bellucci, A Debordian Analysis of Facebook, at CEPE 2009:
"Facebook and similar are rather new disguised forms of advanced capitalism that is trying to colonize the Internet by reducing the networking model to a more controllable (for old advanced capitalism) broadcasting model."

internet?

Connections, not content• Artificial languages + protocols
