When social on the social web goes too far
Today Sweden's newspaper Dagens Nyheter published an article about the segregated Stockholm. It was a sinister read and should have been a wake-up call. The commenting feature was flooded by people flaming and spreading racist propaganda and linking to pages that outed convicts and criminals. The comment feature was during the afternoon disabled due to this.
As I have said many times earlier, the social web is sometimes going too far. When it works, it is great, but when people who still think that social on the web is different from social in reality, we need to change the way we see the social web. Perhaps there was a difference between the social web and the social reality a couple of years ago, but that's not the situation anymore. Now I am afraid that the Internet rudeness and immorality will spread to move outside the web and in to our society.
