“Social” media may be a more friendly term, but “Public” is what it is.

Please, put me on your list.

]]> Comment on The Habermasian implications of the Twittersphere by Nilofar Ansher http://marcstumpel.wordpress.com/2009/10/04/the-habermasian-implications-of-the-twittersphere/#comment-34 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 21:42:37 +0000 http://marcstumpel.wordpress.com/?p=40#comment-34 Really enjoyed reading your abstracts.. as well as the post above. Had a question: you posit Twitter as a public sphere, outside the purview of state machinery..? But would you agree that access to Twitter is routed through ISPs, who in turn get their operating license from the state governments? In effect, Twitter is a state-sponsored quasi-public sphere that gives the illusion of being free, open, and out of govt control. It would be also be quite interesting to see the effect of regulatory laws (government-writ cyberlaws) that shape, control and censor public (web) discourse online (as a follow-up to your blog). The government always had control of behavior, expression and discourse in public spheres – so we have freedom to express, right to speech and demonstration within certain stipulations… the online sphere is no different….why this imagination that it is free? Could we perhaps re-define ‘the public’ as a space that has always been mediated by state machinery – a benign form of surveillance?
