Wow this is so interesting. Thanks for sharing. I also saw this:

It seems a little naive to be surprised that Facebook manipulates users and that 'it has no legal responsibility to give an unfiltered view of what's happening on their network.' Isn't that the same as any media company in theory? The more interesting point to me is that Facebook happens to be vastly more powerful (in part at least, no doubt, because people expect them to behave differently).

It does make me wonder about the future of the self - or the production of self - in the digital age and how this can happen freely. This is a version of autonomy that ought to be integrated into our understanding of privacy, in my view.

Take a Data Selfie

Interesting app project launched by two students at Parsons. App will make predictions and personalized profiles based on our browsing history. App is meant to be an educational tool to show just how much information can be gathered about us from what we browse.
