[governance] Facebook customer outreach on privacy policy backfires

[Riaz K Tayob]

This goes to the heart of the American Dream (not the, work hard, lets 
all get rich hype) but that of a governmental experiment of for the 
people, by the people... the US founding fathers were rather influenced 
by a range of thoughts on governance (Jefferson even had a Quran, along 
with Kant type thinking) where the "good" had a much clearer conception 
than current (the market is always right)... and one of those key issues 
was the enlightened individual... so does web2.0 basically reduce or 
increase our ability to make our own choices not subordinated to other 
goals/logics...
