Julian Dibbell > A Rape in Cyberspace
A few thoughts
- Notions of digital truth and objectivity
- Digital identity, pseudonyms
- Role of the body in digital interactions
- Real-life VS Virtual Reality (VR)
- Online accountability
- Collectivity, community - what is a community? How to define its goals?
- Hierarchy, decentralization, organization
- Power, structure, influence
- What is the main underlying base of the Internet? Words? Ideas? Thoughts?
- Role of politics in MUD spheres
- Can something be *really* decentralized online? Are there really no leaders, decision-makers?
- If RL legislation cannot keep up with digital developments, how can people be accountable for their actions?
