P22 Really Existing Social Media
We are presenting at ISEA2010 RUHR Conference. Come and say "Hello world!".
Online Communities and Client-Server Architectures
Exchange on on-line social networks occurs under the auspices of equal participation on platforms that in fact are privately owned and controlled. The centralization of control existing in communities based on the Web is not specific to some platforms but it is inherent to the Web client-server architecture. In order to change the power relations existing on on-line communities it is fundamental to revise the ownership of their foundations. Networks based on peer-to-peer architectures are an alternative to privately owned infrastructures and an alternative to server-client architectures.
