Facebook may be struggling with privacy concerns, but at least they're opening themselves up to the public. Facebook, the other day, re-opened comments on their government page, affording hundreds of thousands of Facebook users the opportunity to weigh in on the situation. Some offered scathing stories while others offered solutions. Still... Don't you kind of wish the American government would act the same way sometimes? In an increasingly transparent world, where EVERYONE feels obligated to share their every waking thought, why can't we expect the same from our government? Imagine opening an online forum to really address and gauge public opinion- this is what the Greeks would have done, no? And they founded democracy! Sure, with the immature people looming in cyber space, I'm sure that government forum would quickly delve into racial slurs and R.I.P Michael Jackson comments... But still. Maybe one day we'll figure out how to maximize the web's potential. Until then, fingers crossed Anonymous doesnt screw everything up...
