Facebook - the awful truth
• Requires Literacy• Requires expensive equipment• Requires a data plan (broadband or mobile)• Requires a private area (most equipment public)• Does not have Rights Management over individual pieces of media• Does not have Asset Management - can’t find media by a searching
or protect it by local backup• Unsupported by current network infrastructure – may be no
network so idea of being always connected doesn’t work

Do we need Rights Management for:
• Class and Gender restrictions• Location + Temporality• Secret/Sacred• Mortuary restrictions• Bullying• Privacy• Intend to extend social norms into the IT system that
currently doesn’t support them…not replace ‘good manners’ with a machine

Bullying
• Small connected communities mean that existing facebook style ‘defriend’ is irrelevant/inappropriate
• Cyberbullying needs moderation• Frictionless nature of social media gives great power for
good and ill • Betrayal of trust, what can you do to expire your own
media if it falls into the wrong hands? (Heard from Glenda yesterday about misuse of imagery)
