INTELLECTUAL HISTORY FACEBOOK

项目摘要

My doctoral research will examine the political and philosophical ideas that have, implicitly or explicitly, shaped Facebook's decision-making process and actions between 2007 and 2018. I will initially explore the intellectual context out of which Facebook arose, focusing firstly on the influential intellectual currents of early 21st century America, including the rise of Neoliberalism, the notion of the 'End of History', and the changing perspectives of privacy and surveillance post 9/11; secondly, on the intellectual trends in the history of the computer. I will then identify, map and analyse the ideas which underpinned Facebook's decision-making. I envisage four themes: i) Facebook's quasi-libertarian stance on freedom of speech, which is the company's clearest philosophical and political standpoint.ii) Facebook conception of political change especially since the social network markets its own ability to predict and influence user behaviour in effect selling itself as a key medium for and a conduit of social and political change.iii) Facebook's approach to individual privacy and what Facebook's widespread mining of user data tells us about how the company understands the concept of the individual.iv) Facebook's perspective of the nation state and the extent to which the social network accepts the legitimacy of a nation and its actions to regulate the flow of information.

我的博士研究将考察政治和哲学思想，这些思想或暗或明地影响了Facebook在2007至2018年间的决策过程和行动。我将首先探讨Facebook产生的知识背景，首先关注21世纪初美国有影响力的知识潮流，包括新自由主义的兴起、“历史的终结”的概念，以及9/11事件后隐私和监控视角的变化；其次，计算机历史上的知识趋势。然后，我将确定、绘制和分析支撑Facebook决策的想法。我设想了四个主题：i)Facebook对言论自由的准自由主义立场，这是该公司最清晰的哲学和政治立场。ii)Facebook对政治变化的概念，特别是因为社交网络推销自己预测和影响用户行为的能力，实际上是将自己推销为社会和政治变化的关键媒介和渠道。iii)Facebook对个人隐私的方法，以及Facebook对用户数据的广泛挖掘告诉我们，该公司如何理解个人的概念。iv)Facebook对民族国家的观点，以及社交网络在多大程度上接受一个国家的合法性及其监管信息流的行动。
