Geert Lovink: Google's Next Mission: Fighting Violent Extremism: (interesting to see how google is pushed (or wanders itself?) into political directions. in the end, who will decide who is 'extreme' and what is an 'extreme opinion' or organization? what forms of resistance are 'violent'? these definitions shifts over time, as we all know, and [...]

Patrice Riemens: How Rebels Hijacked Gadhafi's Phone Network (WSJ): Googling for this to retrieve the original article, it was remarkable to see how all the first links were to tech-pages, and not the WSJ itself (I got the Url from one of those rather than browsing on...)

Paolo Cirio: Face to Facebook legal and media update - Press Release: Press Release, April 7th, 2011. Belgrade.
Face to Facebook http://www.face-to-facebook.net A project by Paolo Cirio and Alessandro Ludovico.
Legal update: After sending us a "cease and desist letter" (which led to making the website Lovely-Faces.com unavailable), asking us to give them back the 1M publicly available data and terminating our Facebook personal accounts, Facebook lawyers are continuing to follow up with us. First they are insisting on asking us to remove all the content from the Face-to-Facebook.net domain, which is the website documenting the project. This request sounds quite surreal for us: this website merely contains a collection of texts, materials and links related to Face-to- Facebook project. Even more, we have received a threat from Facebook legal department about the claim that the face-to-facebook.net domain name is violating Facebook trademark. So, why should such a big online corporation push a couple of artists to remove the documentation of their project? Our lawyers are investigating the legal basis of their request.
Global Mass Media Hack Performance: http://www.face-to-facebook.net/press-coverage.php Meanwhile, the news went through to more than 1000 media reports, reaching a wide audience spread all over the globe. Very different stages were involved like: tv, radio, newspapers, magazines, blogs, portals and plenty of personal blogs, not counting the thousands of tweets. The pattern of propagation would need time to be properly analyzed, but it definitively is "viral", especially in some countries like Brazil, Pakistan, Greece, Turkey, Ukraine. There are plenty of captivating scenes in this mass media performance, like for example the one where 93 per cent of the 7538 participants to the online poll opened by the Australian newspaper The Age answered "Yes" to the question "Should Lovely-faces.com require consent to use your photo?" Maybe that influenced also the blog "Ethics Alarms" to declare Lovely-Faces.com as "Unethical Website of the Month." And the controversial aspect of the project has been clearly picked up even by some popular U.S. TV news (see links below) sometimes resulting as quite bizarre.

aha at aharonic.net: Facebook takes down Palestinian intifada page: A curious case indeed..
Here's a google translated article that seem to portray an israeli self explanation as to why it's censorship efforts are morally fine.
I read about the 3rd intifada + fb issue a few weeks ago. At the time, I noticed that despite the claim of over 300,000 "likes", the actual number was more like 350. Note that within the following link there is a screenshot where the number of "likes" is 1,642. Maybe 298,358 simultaneously realised that they accidentally "liked" the same group by mistake..
