.@alexhanna It won't last long but the images of everyone will be put through facial recognition. End of "the mob" as a historical concept.
@zeynep @alexhanna @thegrugq One aspect of the mob. Certainly can still get caught up in mob mentality
@jtbussell @alexhanna @thegrugq So, the research is that mobs aren't very "mob" mentalistic. They're fairly social. Certainly my experience.
@jtbussell @alexhanna @thegrugq But being semi-guaranteed identification by state will have different consequences.
@zeynep @jtbussell @alexhanna the end of anonymity in a “mob”… Except for those who’re prepared http://blog.totallynotmalware.net/?p=106
@thegrugq @jtbussell @alexhanna So we just had this discussion so I'm dropping Alex for the next few tweets.
@thegrugq @jtbussell You can certainly take counter-measures but if the state can force you into that to participate—they kinda already won.
@thegrugq @jtbussell This doesn't apply in all contexts but in most protest movements, the success depends on legitimacy which depends on+
@thegrugq @jtbussell ..a feeling of innocent, a feeling of being right among your fellow people. Need the novices to join for that to work.
