| <nettime> mailing list monoculture in three easy steps |
[when did subscribing to a mailing list become an opt-*out*
procedure? this kind of thing used to be pretty rare; now
it's becoming all too familiar. whatever the 'intent'--if
indeed intent can be ascribed to corporate bodies--the ef-
fects are (a) to reduce individual mailing lists to robot-
ic distribution vehicles, and (b) to homogenize diversity
across lists. unsurprisingly, the perpetrators are mostly
institutions. cheers, t]
