 In the clouds of social networks, then, published does not mean public.
 To sell Google’s technocracy as if it were a tool for direct democracy is a charade that is meant to make us believe that we are participants in some sort of grand electronic democracy game, a narrative that actually is totally devoid of substance. 
 Secrecy, cryptography, and steganography are all examples of useful practices, but they are not definitive solutions.
