Evgeny Morozov (evgenymorozov) Evgeny Morozov: How democracy slipped through the net.

RSA Animate - The Internet in Society: Empowering or Censoring Citizens? Evgeny Morozov and the Rhetoric of Contempt. Evgeny Morozov is perhaps the most skilled contemporary practitioner of the rhetoric of contempt.
He seeks to win arguments (and attention) by treating ideas he dislikes with scorn and ridicule and by treating their proponents with mockery and cruelty. He encourages this behavior in others. The exchange below, which happened earlier today, is a good example. When I first met Evgeny in 2008 he was a journalist, working for The Economist. He was smart and entertaining. So he has turned his gaze to Silicon Valley and has started attacking Tim O’Reilly and Jimmy Wales instead of the State Department. I have not asked Evgeny about his rhetorical strategy, but I would bet that it is strategic. So, this post is not a plea to Evgeny to stop using the rhetoric of contempt. The Myth of the Techno-Utopia. Was What Happened in Tunisia a Twitter Revolution?: Tech News and Analysis « The Meme Hustler. Tim O’Reilly’s crazy talk Evgeny Morozov [from The Baffler No. 22, 2013] While the brightest minds of Silicon Valley are “disrupting” whatever industry is too crippled to fend off their advances, something odd is happening to our language.
Old, trusted words no longer mean what they used to mean; often, they don’t mean anything at all. Our language, much like everything these days, has been hacked. This is not to deny that many of our latest gadgets and apps are fantastic. Fortunately, Silicon Valley, that never-drying well of shoddy concepts and dubious paradigms—from wiki-everything to i-something, from e-nothing to open-anything—is ready to help. Silicon Valley has always had a thing for priests; Steve Jobs was the cranky pope it deserved. The enduring emptiness of our technology debates has one main cause, and his name is Tim O’Reilly. Alas, O’Reilly and the dead Germans parted ways long ago.
Evgeny Morozov: How much for your data? Evgeny Morozov on Why Our Privacy Problem is a Democracy Problem in Disguise. In 1967, The Public Interest, then a leading venue for highbrow policy debate, published a provocative essay by Paul Baran, one of the fathers of the data transmission method known as packet switching.
Titled “The Future Computer Utility,” the essay speculated that someday a few big, centralized computers would provide “information processing … the same way one now buys electricity.” Our home computer console will be used to send and receive messages—like telegrams.

Il a rédigé un long mais passionnant article dans The Guardian qui prend appui sur un lecture (très) critique du récent mais déjà fort commenté livre The Net Delusion: The Dark Side of Internet Freedom de Evgeny Morozov. Chercheur biélorusse à l’université de Georgetown et chroniqueur dans plusieurs journaux, Morozov remet radicalement en question, dans son ouvrage, le pouvoir libérateur d’Internet. On peut le voir exposer son point de vue dans cette courte conférence au format TED : Comment Internet aide les dictatures, qui constitue un excellent préambule à ce qui va suivre. On comprendra dès lors aisément que le « net-activiste » Cory Doctorow ait pris sa plume pour répondre dans le détail à l’argumentaire de Morozov.
