Facebook never forgets
A cartoon about Facebook monitoring and recording its posts as part of the surveillance society.
Cartoon showing the Facebook logo as the head of an elephant watching and recording the activities of its users.
The elephant is used because of the expression ‘an elephant never forgets’ – and because the f in the Facebook logo looks a bit like an elephant’s head
The cartoon is meant to link Facebook with Big Brother in George Orwell’s book 1984.
It is about surveillance of the internet by organisations and government, internet users’ surrendering of privacy, net privacy, a potentially distopian future.
