Tonight Facebook revealed its true colors, aping Twitter in its design, then censoring mentions of the competitor in status updates. Damn you, Facebook.

Update: For several hours today, the word Twitter was censored in Facebook’s new stream, or at least delayed. As I’ve mentioned before, there is no private. Assume that every singe thing you put on the Internet might be used against you. I actually believe transparent living and collaborative culture is the antidote to totalitarianism, but I am going to be looking more towards open source. Facebook is not to be trusted, though it remains a decent tool for some purposes. I take back that I’ve said about using established tech for Government 2.0 – we must be wary.
