Re: <nettime> Please support the first global facebook user strike


Why it makes sense for me to support the strike as a still facebook user?

Raising awareness within the system, giving a hopefully powerful sign that there's a big mistrust of the users, observing how the system reacts (especially if the strike is powerful), letting fb users who are not participating think why they don't strike (feeling the dependence), observing possible sanctions of fb on the strikers: e.g. I thought about setting up a fb event to spread the word; will I be sanctioned for that action? I think, in case this can be a good step to leave the system and to test its power before leaving.

I agree, that it's consequent to delete and leave fb now without strike, but I think, that it can be powerful too to set a political and visible sign. The "battle" is taking place on different grounds; different strategies can augment each other.

Best, Anni
