CPH:DOX - Gik du glip af Dansk TV-premiere på Facebookistan, fik det dårligt efterfølgende og måtte på FB og slette spor og ændre profilbillede...

PREMIERE. Jakob Gottschaus dokumentar "Facebookistan" undersøger Facebooks love og brugernes rettigheder i forhold til privatliv og ytringsfrihed. Filmen har tv-premiere 10. december kl. 21 på DR2 og kommer på Filmcentralen 11. december.


The world's largest public space is even off-limits for the one and a half billion people who use it, 'like' it or not.

 

1.4 billion people are on Facebook. But even though we voluntarily share our otherwise completely private information on the social network – and even if we just as voluntarily give Facebook permission to use our information and make money on them – very little is known about the secretive business itself. For how is the world's largest public space controlled and monitored? Why are pages and posts censored? And why does Facebook keep data, even after the user has deleted it? 'Like' it or not – here is a film that will make you think twice before leaving your next digital footprint in Facebook's eternal memory. Meet, among others, the author Peter Øvig Knudsen, whose book 'Hippie' was too much for Facebook with its historical pictures of bare breasts and 1970s permissiveness. Facebook is the most visible symptom of an increasingly closed and centralised internet, but is also a social revolution with a great democratic potential.
