Mark Zuckerberg is TIME Magazine's Person of the Year? Where's the
"dislike" button? 
TIME Magazine praises Mark Zuckerberg for creating a system that has
connected people around the world with each other.

As for Person of the Year, we couldn't find the dislike button on
Facebook for TIME's choice, so we made our own. Here's our version of
the magazine:

Unfortunately, the terms under which he claims to have done this set a
terrible precedent for our future — for our control over the software
we use to interact with each other, for control over our data, and for
our privacy. The damage is not limited to Facebook users. Because so
many sites — including TIME — use Facebook's user-tracking "Like"
button, Zuckerberg is able to collect information about people who
aren't even users of his site. These are precedents which hurt our
ability to freely connect with each other. He has created a network
that is first and foremost a gold mine for government surveillance and
advertisers.

This much is evident from Facebook's outward behavior — but things
could actually be much worse than we know. The fact that Facebook's
code is hidden from view means that its users are not connecting
directly with each other. They are speaking to Mr. Zuckerberg, who
first writes down and files away everything said, and then maybe relays
it to the intended destination, if it suits him. In some cases he does
not — witness the recent reports of Facebook's messaging service
blocking messages based on the words and links in them, because those
links point to services which Facebook would prefer we not discuss.

Fortunately, there are many efforts underway to provide distributed,
user-controlled services to facilitate connection between people,
including GNU social, status.net, Crabgrass, Appleseed and Diaspora.
These services will not have the same kinds of problems, because both
the communication-handling code and the communication data will be in
the hands of the people doing the communicating.

These efforts will eventually succeed. We hope that when they do, TIME
will remedy its mistaken reasoning by awarding the Person of the Year
appropriately.

Copy and paste this code for your own website!

won't find me on Facebook" /></a>

In the meantime, you can encourage people not to connect with
Zuckerberg while thinking that they are connecting with you, by putting
this button on your blog or web site, with a link to whatever method
you would prefer they use to contact you directly — maybe your
http://identi.ca or other status.net account.

Alternatively, you could point it at this post or any of the better
articles pointing out the problems with Facebook, such as "With friends
like these ..." by Tom Hodgkinson, or the resources available at
http://autonomo.us — especially the "Franklin Street Statement on
Freedom and Network Services".

Our button, of course, is not linked to any surveillance database or
tracking system. Download our dislike button and put it on your
website, or print your own dislike stickers.

PD: Banner agregado en mi sitio porque No me banco a Zuckerberg,
tampoco que lo eligieran como personaje del año cuando tenía que ser
assange, el negocio y los fuertes vinculos con Microsoft, Cia y etc...
son innegables y nos toman el pelo. Además soy víctima de unas tantas
de tener que enterarme que alguien falsifico una cuenta mia la cuenta
el Facebook Team me toma el pelo y me manda un mensaje automatico
diciendo que tengo que denunciarlo en su perfil (Para esto necesitas
cuenta cuak...) y para enviar una denuncia sin tener cuenta es un
garrón así como antes era cerrar la cuenta.

Me despido con un:
Not f'd — you won't find me on Facebook

Salud!
Aguante identi.ca y gnewbook :)
