Unaware that LinkedIn has such a strong filtering policy that it does not allow me posting a completely innocent post on a Chinese extreme photography website I tried to post the following:
"As an Mpx lover I was suprised to find out that the M from Million is now replaced by the B from Billion. This picture is 24 Bpx! Yes you read this well, 24 billion pixels.
Searching on the picture I stumbled on a fellow Nikon lover. If you want to search for him yourself you can find him here: http://www.bigpixel.cn/t/5834170785f26b37002af46a "
In my eyes nothing is wrong with this post, but LinkedIn considers it as offending. I changed the lover words, but I could not post it.
Even taking a picture and post it will not let this pass:
Or my critical post on LinkedIn crazy posting policy: it will not pass and I cannot post it.
The technology LinkedIn shows here is an example what to expect in the near future.
Newspapers will have a unified reporting using automated filtering on tendenc, political colour, readers interest etc. so redaction of the newspaper is completely automated and robotized. Like on LinkedIn.
For the record: I cannot even post this blog on LinkedIn while I think that these subjects and a discussion about it is very important. No way LinkedIn let it pass.
On the other hand Bpx or Billion pixels with super fast face recognition will bring back our privacy further and further. You only need the wrong people, a dictator as a president for example or a beautiful dummy president backed up by dangerous people in organisations like the FBI and the CIA or Blackwater and the freedom of speach and individual rights in a democracy is no longer existing.
Facebook does the same. Both websites are owned by US companies a country that has the freedom of press so high in its banner. Strangely enough it is this country where websites apply the most restrictive policies, while making a big fist to the Chinese on their restrictive policies.
Maybe Europe - if it stays independant and does not cling on to the USA - will be the future last free heaven of really independant press and communication.
