Frictionless sharing isn’t better sharing; it’s the absence of sharing.
The end of social - O’Reilly Radar (via deplorableword)
mike loukides goes on, quoting…wait for it…microsoft:
The other day, I read a perceptive article, “In Defense of Friction,” arguing that “automated trust systems undermine trust by incentivizing cooperation because of the fear of punishment rather than actual trust.” That’s a profound point. If we rely on computational systems for a trust framework, we actually lose our instincts and capacity for personal trust; even more, we cease to care about it. And there’s a big difference between trusting someone and relying on a system that says they’re trustworthy.
it’s a new year so i’m cool with saying that microsoft “gets it” on this one.
