A Facebook suicide bomb? Perhaps it takes drastic measures to leave a social networking site. Leave, that is, and make an impression:
catching as many viruses as possible; click on as many “Like” buttons as possible; join as many groups as possible; request as many friends as possible. Wherever there is the possibility for action, take it, and take it without any thought whatsoever.
Defeat your well-behaved Facebook doppelganger!
Become a machine for clicking! Every click dissolves the virtual double that Facebook has created for you. It disperses you into the digital lives of others you hadn’t thought of communicating with. It confuses your friends. It pulls all those parts of the world that your social network refuses to engage with back into focus, makes it present again.
A bit like spamming, alas.
There's an interesting meditation on social silence here:
an invisible user – one who has committed suicide – is simply a non-factor in the constant and regular computational logic of the thing.
Via Appia?
