Description
In Team Meeting 18 we had a discussion on our continued use of Facebook despite the revelations that they have been doing psychological experiments with the news feed.
A
B
The
articles
that
have
hit
the
paper
on
for
the
last
couple
of
weeks
about
psychological
experiments
being
performed
on
people
who
are
using
Facebook
articles
written
in
The,
Times
and,
of
course,
now
as
people
do
more
digging
they're
finding
out
that
these
various
research
studies
have
been
funded
by
the
US
Department
of
Defense
as
part
of
a
bunch
of
different
programs
on
monitoring
arm
social
groups
and
sorry
monitoring
change
in
different
countries
and
how
to
figure
out
when
people
are
reaching
the
boiling
point,
I'm
getting
ticked
off
at
their
governments
or
other
types
of
institutions.
B
Do
you
guys
want
to
add
a
little
law?
Had
your
own
sort
of
understanding
in
terms
of
what
is
hit
the
media
in
terms
of
this
yeah.
C
C
That
too
many
other
a
lot
of
people
have
their
information
assets
of
public
so
that
anybody
and
there
anybody
can
download
it,
including
any
type
of
agencies,
domestic
offer
that
there's
a
there's,
a
real
issue
that
I
judge
from
what
I
see,
at
least
from
what
about.
Where
I
heard
most
of
the
intelligence
agencies
are
I
mean
when
it
comes
to
social
media.
C
Mostly
intelligence
agencies
are
seeing
it's
basically
as
part
of
what
is
it
part
of
their
regular
signals,
intelligence
so,
basically
like
a
NSA,
they
just
download
everything
and
or
download
as
much
they
can
and
if
you
analyze
it
as
a
later
point
at
a
later
point
in
time,
but
especially
the
this
new
development
site
with
with
Facebook,
whereby
they're,
not
just
analyzing
but
they're,
also
influencing
or
are
taking
a
fare
is
or
was
it
not
influencing
blood?
So
was
it
experimenting
with?
C
Was
it
with
with
people,
it
sounds
so
lost
it,
starting
to
sound
a
little
bit
like
that,
like
they're
treading
on
thin
ice,
it's
so
what
it
said.
Personally,
I
I,
don't
really
like
it.
I
wouldn't
have
been
thinking
of
trying
to
get
rid
of
my
facebook
for
a
very
long
time,
but
due
to
a
lot
of
things,
I
have
in
there
will
say
that
I
do
they're
vastly
different,
eventually
possible.
C
For
me,
but
I
mean
I
can
absolutely
I
would
not
advise
anybody
to
watch
it
to
set
up
a
new
facebook
accounts
at
this
time
and
I've
had
lots
of
people.
Who've
got
to
have
come
to
me
and
I've
said:
yes,
sorry,
I'm
going
to
give
up
a
Facebook.
This
is
a
even
before
this
instance
that
this-
and
this
is
for
a
lot
of
people
step
too
far,
I
mean
one
of
the
biggest
people
that
I
follow.
C
Our
Facebook
told
me
that
about
that
of
the
perhaps
one
percent
of
the
people
that
he
was
at
the
new
his
friends
and
he
has
thousands
so
say,
550
people
offer
was
it
have
already
left
and
and
I
think
that
was
it
that
the
that
other
there
won't
be
a
decline.
A
rapid
decline.
I
do
think
that
was
there
a
lot
of
people
who
were
we
value
and
would
value
us
as
students
and
as
our
I
was
as
a
faculty
member
Sardinia.
B
Yeah
dan,
do
you
have
anything
you
want
to
add.
D
No
I
mean
you
know:
well,
yes,
I
guess
I
another
part
of
our
transparency
attempts
and
not
attempts,
but
as
we
are
constantly
pushing
to
be
as
transparent
as
possible,
you
know
I
know.
One
thing
Rob,
you
said
in
the
past
is:
if
we
have
nothing
to
hide,
it
doesn't
matter
as
much
if
people
aren't
using
information
correctly
or
ethically
or
and
I
you
know,
part
of
me
is
like
that.
That
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
then
the
other
part
of
me
is
like
you
know.
D
We
don't
deserve
to
be
treated
as
a
people
at
any
level
like
that.
You
know
so
opting
out
sure,
but
on
the
other
hand,
you
know
when
we
post
stuff
the
way
we
are
using,
at
least
as
an
organization
like
you
know,
that's
separate
from
our
own
personal
accounts.
If
we
have
them
or
not
or
whatever
I
don't
know,
I,
don't
know
how
that
works.
D
I,
don't
know
like
what
okay,
so
you
can
see
who
likes
us
and
we
post
mostly
either
third-party
kind
of
hey
check
this
out
or
even
if
we
posted
something
that
we
wrote
it
would
be
on
our
website.
Anyway,
perhaps
using
facebook
makes
it
easier
for
other.
You
know
organizations
to
mine
the
information.
However,
it's
it's
not
like
it's
not
already
up
there,
but.
D
B
I
want
to
just
clarify
something
you
said:
I
said,
which
is.
It
is
really
important
that
institutions
are
transparent
and
institution
should
be
as
transparent
as
possible
so
that
they
have,
and
they
really
should
have
nothing
to
hide
an
institution.
B
However,
people
have
call
me
old-fashioned,
but
people
have
a
right
to
privacy
and
to
lead
their
own
lives
the
way
they
would
like
so
long
as
it's
not
negatively
impacting
on
others.
So
so,
for
example,
while
in
our
operations,
we
need
to
be
as
transparent
as
possible.
B
Okay
on
the
individual
students
who
take
their
courses
on
they
have
the
right
to
is
as
much
privacy
and
data
protection
as
they
possibly
can
and
have
to
opt
into
sharing,
okay
and
they're
an
individual
also
for
us,
you
know
for
our
faculty
same
thing:
okay,
you
know,
we've
been
really
really.
We
were
really
really
slow
about
getting
certain
names
of
faculty
at
them,
because
we
wanted
to
protect
people's
privacy
to
respect
their
ability
to
remain
anonymous
about
their
involvement
with
us
when
we
were
starting
and
when
we
change
something.
B
Okay,
now,
if
you,
when
I,
go
in
I
visit,
you
know,
Amy
Goodman,
on
Democracy,
Now
or
I,
go
to
Fox,
News
or
I,
go
to
Drudge
Report.
Okay,
all
right
go
to
Al,
Jazeera
or
I,
go
to
xinghua,
okay,
all
which
are
different
feeds
that
I
read
I'm,
choosing
to
be
kind
of
underneath
their
arm
they're
editing
in
their
propaganda.
Okay,
to
put
it
to
put
it,
they
have
a
each
of
one
of
those
organizations
has
a
different
viewpoint
and
they
push
that
viewpoint.
B
The
problem
with
Facebook
is
that
they're
now
not
being
transparent
at
all
about
what
they're
pushing
okay
and
you
know
that
the
psychological
manipulation
I
mean
in
the
states.
You
have
to
if
you're
going
to
do
human
could,
if
you're
going
to
do
human
experimentation,
you
have
to
go
through
the
what's
called
the
IRB
institutional
review
board,
which
has
a
series
of
standards
at
various
universities,
and
you
can't
just
experiment
on
people's
psychological
states
willy-nilly
for
the
hell
of
it.
B
Okay
and
the
fact
that
they're
doing
this
and
they're
getting
cash
from
the
DoD
to
do
it.
Department
of
defense
in
the
US
really
has
me
concerned,
you
know
I
know:
Facebook
is
mining.
Our
data
I
know
they
do
network
analysis.
I
know
you
can
do
certain
kinds
of
predictive
things
with
statistics
and
other
types
of
modeling
about
a
human
beings
behavior
and
who
they're
interacting
with
etc
arm.
B
B
Yup
arm
and
I
guess:
I
wanna.
You
know
over
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
I
want
to
have
that
discussion
about
complicity,
because
we
need
to
be
thinking
about
whether
to
completely
disengage
from
facebook.
I
know
it's
a
I
know:
it's
a
pain.
B
You
know
marketing
wise,
but
we
can't
sell
our
souls
okay
by
engaging
with
companies
that
really
do
a
whole
lot
of
bad
bad
things
right
and-
and
we
can't
have
our
you
know-
I-
don't
want
to
pay
another
I'm
not
going
to
pay
we're
not
going
to
pay
any
more
marketing.
Like
you
know,
hey,
let's
boost
our
post.
Okay,
I!
Don't
want
facebook
to
get
a
red
cent
from
us
until
they
change
their
attitude.
They
change
their
policy
or
we
figure
out.
B
You
know,
or
we
decide
that
we're
for
you
know
that
we,
you
know
we're
okay
with
it
and
I
also
kind
of
want
to
ask
you
know
those
people
who
are
watching
this
some
this
meeting.
You
know
your
chime
in
on
the
issue.
Maybe
we
can
also
slice
up
this
discussion
and
put
it
out
on
the
web,
because
this
is
a
really
important
discussion
to
have,
because
a
lot
of
different
companies
are
using
Facebook
to
do
their
marketing.
B
Okay
and
they're
the
people
who
they're
creating
community
with
need
to
understand
that
you
know
that
of
what
Facebook
is
doing.
It's
not
okay.
To
use
this
kind
of
I
mean
what
do
you
call
it
psychological
operations
on
a
on
a
on
a
population?
It's
not
okay,
it's
very
different
than
you
know,
broadcasting
one
way
arm.
B
You
know
here's
the
government's
propaganda.
This
is
a
push
poll
mom
of
behavior,
and
so
that's
why
you
know
that's
why
I
bring
it
up.
I
want
people
to
chime
in
you
know.
Is
it?
Are
they
really
pissed
off?
If
they're
really
pissed
off,
then
you
know
we
need
to
examine
our
involvement
with
them
and
maybe
switch
to
something
else.
Maybe
the
only
thing
we
can
do
now
is
you
know,
Twitter
feeds,
you
know.
What's
google
pluses
arm,
you
know
his
Google+?
Is
google
experimenting
on
people?
B
You
know-
god
I
hope
not
Oh
Sergey
sergej
has
said
you
know,
do
no
evil,
but
we
need
to
figure
that
out
and
we
need
to
support
companies
and
social
networks
that
do
not
engage
in
such
career
busy
such
such
behavior,
but
maybe
I'm
totally.
You
know
again
old-fashioned
and
nobody
has
a
concern
about
this.
Well.
D
You're
a
yeah,
I
agree
with
you,
I
I
don't
know
that
we're
necessarily
compromising
or
encouraging
anyone
by
having
a
page
that
people
can
like
that
person
had
to
already
have
a
Facebook
account
and
opt-in
and
then
click
to
like
us,
assuming
there's
no
identity
fraud
going
on.
You
know
like
in
90
whatever
in
most
cases,
you
can
safely
say
that
someone
had
to
opt
into
the
whole
experience
and
yup
I
hear
you.
You
know
if
they're
doing
this
stuff,
that
we
don't
know
about
that
sketchy.
D
B
Also
leads
me
to
wonder
like
if
we're
putting
out
posts,
what
is
facebook,
what
is
Facebook
connecting
all
posts
with
okay,
because
if
all
the
posts
around
us
are
negative?
Okay,
what
does
that
do
to
our
to
how
we're
being
perceived
out
there?
So
the
ability
to
do
social
engineering
and
manipulation
granted?
That's
hardcore,
tin,
foil
hat
stuff.
But
the
frightening
thing
is
that
the
more
time
I'm
spending
on
this
planet,
the
more
weird
it's
getting
I
mean
it's
all.
B
You
know
it's
reading
slightly
like
a
philip
k,
dick
novel
and-
and
you
know,
that's
not
okay
right,
so
we're
not
going
to
make
a
decision
today,
but
I'm,
hoping
that
we
can
get
this,
that
this
discussion
gets
out
there
and
that
we
can
launch
your
discussion
internally
amongst
our
faculty
and
potential
students,
because
you
know
I'm
totally
ready
to
to
eliminate
my
account,
eliminate
a
player,
knows
accounts
and
never
have
anything
to
do
with
them
again,
even
though
I've
got
like
this
is
how
I've
kept
in
contact
with
with
old
friends
who
I
thought
I'd
lost
arm,
and
you
know
sending
them
out
an
email
and
saying
hey
guys.
B
If
you
want
to
get
in
contact
with
me,
here's
where
we're
going
to
have
a
list
or
something
along
that
line
cuz.
This
is
just
not
okay,
yeah
and
it
well
inhale.
It's
a
great
opportunity
for
a
new
social
networking
site
on
to
get
created,
because
people
are
not
I
mean
like
Facebook,
good
God,
it's
getting
out
of
control,
they
need
to
back.
They
need
to
step
back
so
anything
else.
Anybody
wants
to
add
about
that
dan
I
mean
you
know.
Daniel
I
mean
you
know.
B
C
C
We
have
if
it
could
be
even
worse
than
we
think
I
mean
if
the
possibilities
are
endless,
but
I
don't
think
is
I,
don't
think
it's
as
bad,
as
was
it
as
some
of
the
tinfoil
hats.
People
would
make
you
want
to
believe,
but
suppose
you
but
I
did,
but
there
is
there's
a
lot
of
stuff.
That's
it
that's
a
that.
We
don't
know,
and
then
we
can't
see.
Ned
is
just
you.
It
counts
for
for
Google
as
well
as
Facebook.
C
That's
a
both
are
doing
things
that
we
thought
that,
with
that
not
so
transparent,
so
they're
doing
theater,
we
can't
actually
yeah.
We
can't
verify
what
they're
doing
and
they
have
so
much
power
as
soon
as
we
we
wish.
We
should
be
concerned
up
to
a
certain
point
about
about
them
and
anything
that
comes
ever
usually
a
lot
of
things
that
come
out
such
as
this
facebook
thing
are
the
most
negative
when
they
hit
the
news.
C
There
are
also
very
small
things
that
they
was
identity
at
the
hole
in
the
past
with
Facebook
the
facts
that
said
that
they
would
ban,
or
they
would
block
people
or
and
and
cancel
people's
accounts
for
posting
pictures
of
women.
Breastfeeding
means
this
I
mean
completely
innocent
pictures.
Doesn't
they
have?
B
I
guess
you
know
for
for
me:
you
know
that
there's
the
issue
of
the
transparent,
the
issue
of
what
data
do
you
share
out
with
people,
okay
with
corporations
and
we're
sharing
data
with
them
all
the
time?
Okay?
But
this
to
me
them
the
potential
manipulation
of
people
using
that
data
takes
it
to
a
very,
very
different
level
arm,
because
you
know
we,
you
yeah,
you
can
choose
to
share,
but
when
you
have,
when
you
have
what
you've
shared
used
to
potentially
bend
your
opinions
about
the
world,
that
is
that's
a
different
thing.
B
I
mean
that
is
like
mini
plus,
true,
double,
plus,
good
stuff
out
of
1984
and
and.
C
B
C
C
That
is
a
positively
slanted
towards
a
political
situation
that
that
I
find
important,
and
that
could
be
negatively
slanted
just
by
changing
one
or
two
words
or
the
intonation
of
the
post,
and
we
know
was
it
sort
of
changes,
so
was
it
could
be
introduced
into
a
post
to
add
to
a
to
completely
change
the
halters,
the
slants
of
the
evos,
post
and
I
would
never
know
because
I
have
you
seen
my
view
and
you
would
never
know,
because
you
only
see
of
you
so
you'd
have
a
good
get
it
completely.
Different
impression
means
this.
C
B
Is
Major
audit
there's
no
yeah,
there's
no
auditing
function
at
all
about
what
is
actually
going
past
I.
Now
on
that,
on
that
positive
note,
come
you
know,
let's
you
know
if
out
there
anybody
who's
watching
this.
If
you
have
an
opinion
on
this,
please
share
it
with
us
at
where,
where
do
we
want
to
send
