I’m not saying that you should implement one, I’m saying that you should choose and promote one that addresses those concerns. There’s Status.Net for small messages, and there are free “social network” kind of things like Diaspora, though I don’t what their current status is. There may also be different kinds of tools we haven’t mentioned, like wikis.

You seem to amalgamate “social network” and those centralized, privacy-threatening services. The phrase “social networks” really describes real-world social interactions. There are many tools that can be used to reify social networks on the net. Hackers often like email, IRC, and blogs. I gather that nowadays people may have different preferences. But whatever tool they choose, I think they must understand what impact it has on their freedom and privacy. Thanks, Ludo’.
