FB Resistance - Augmented Freedom
+
+
"What kind of hacks are there to enhance the Facebook user experience and fulfill needs that Facebook does not support? How to define the freedom that FB Resistance explores and cultivates, which is obscured by Facebook at the same time?
+
+
To examine this, this article shed light on several concepts and hacks, adopted by FB Resistance. Firstly, three antagonist concepts are described that provoke against wearing Facebook’s obligatory rose-tinted glasses. Secondly, the possibilities for user interface modification are exemplified. Finally, the essential freedoms of open source software are juxtaposed to the freedoms, exercised by Facebook Resistance."
