Julian Assange on leaks and Cognitive Secrecy tax
"The more secretive or unjust an organization is, the more leaks induce fear and
paranoia in its leadership and planning coterie. This must result in minimization
of efficient internal communications mechanisms (an increase in cognitive
"secrecy tax") and consequent system-wide cognitive decline resulting in
decreased ability to hold onto power as the environment demands adaption.
Hence in a world where leaking is easy, secretive or unjust systems are
nonlinearly hit relative to open, just systems. Since unjust systems, by their
nature induce opponents, and in many places barely have the upper hand, mass
leaking leaves them exquisitely vulnerable to those who seek to replace them
with more open forms of governance.
Only revealed injustice can be answered; for man to do anything intelligent he
has to know what's actually going on."

Information Proletariat
Facebook is a scam for it's users. It keeps the individual interacting and perceiving in a low dimension of observable features and relationships. In fact facebook develops (and monetizes) behind the scenes very complex graphical network modeling features that show higher dimensions for those willing and able to pay in order to gain access. Facebook, like Google, creates and necessarily subsists on "information proletariat."
