Facebook’s business model is to understand, predict, and control human behaviour. As is Google’s, as is Twitter’s… http://indietech.org/video
@Laerkespenner Not a paradox, a false dichotomy: they present themselves as the only alternative—the alternative is for you to be in control

@aral yes! But you know.. People ARE lazy and don't realize the impact of letting someone Else control what information they get.. -
@Laerkespenner Indeed. Which is why our alternatives have to be _as easy_ to use :) http://indietech.org/video -
@aral possibly a too complacent view, but isn't mass human behaviour prediction like predicting the weather? Too chaotic/dynamic a system -
@turnofftheDOTtv I don’t need to predict mass behaviour (although I can), I need to understand, predict, and influence _your_ behaviour.
