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?
