Rabbit & Yo's-<br>
<br>
Here's another vote for "yes we should have a list that's not
indexed by Google." <br>
<br>
Given the choice between posting to a list that's a direct
surveillance-feed and one that isn't, many of us will take our
discussion to the latter. (Would you rather cuddle with your
friends under a surveillance camera, or under a tree?)<br>
<br>
But let's not call it "ephemeral," because that word, in this
context, is a white flag of surrender. It's surrender to the idea
that Google is the one and only keeper of cultural memory, and
anything else is merely transient. It's surrender to corporate
power and the control state. <br>
<br>
We should assert the right to our own collective memory, stored on
our own devices, accessible to our own community. The place for the
kind of broadcast that becomes an appetizer on Big Brother's
cannibal menu, is when the broadcast is something that'll give Big
Brother indigestion. <br>
<br>
Let Google eat our manifestos, proclamations, and press releases.
But not our soul-searches, our occasional bickering, our existential
angst, or our vulnerable self-revealing philosophizing about sex,
religion, and the meaning of life. <br>

How about "sudo-ephemeral"?)<br>
