@onepict Those guys are so insufferable, couldn’t actually watch it all the way through. (If I had a penny for every time I’ve met those guys in tech…) Poor Jon.

  Interesting doing a historical deep dive, all kinds of stuff gets linked together. I'd never even heard of infomorph (sockpuppet bot).
  I totally get why Jon Ronson was upset. Like this was 9 years ago.
  I'm just like 😱 . No wonder we have the issues with ethics and Computer Science departments. The desire to separate the web from real life people.

    Jon Ronson meets the creators of the twitter spambot 'Jon_Ronson'. LIKE Escape & Control on Facebook @ http://on.fb.me/EscapeAndControl Jon Ronson's Podcast on iTunes @ http://bit.ly/escapeandiTunes Jon Ronson arranges a meeting with the creators of the twitter spambot 'Jon_Ronson'. After some heated discussion and confusion in this interview, he discovers the academics' true agenda. ABOUT ESCAPE & CONTROL: Escape & Control is an online documentary series in which internationally acclaimed journalist and filmmaker Jon Ronson (Adventures with Extremists, The Men Who Stare At Goats and The Psychopath Test) turns his attentions to the Internet. It can sometimes feel like we're creating a new kind of democracy online, where we control and regulate each other instead of being told how to behave by those in authority. But there are people out there who don't like this idea at all. So they want to come up with ways to control it. Sometimes maybe even secret ways... With searing interviews, unravelling mysteries and some great fun along the way, Jon Ronson is setting off on an adventure that may mean you'll never look at your mouse in the same way again.
