Another problem with existing social networking sites that I see increasing lately is that people are maintaining their accounts and log in regularly just to make sure no-one posted anything about them that they don't agree with (e.g. party photos).
I propose that GNU Social has a option where the everyone would have the option to decide whether they want to approve of something publicly posted about them or not. This could be done by e.g. having in the settings an option that would say: Whenever someone tags something (e.g. a photo) with my name on it or posts something on my page/"wall"[1] I want: [] not to be bothered about it. [] to be informed that it happened, so I can check it out and approve or disapprove of it. [] to be informed about it and that it is not posted until I have approved of it. Perhaps we could also implement a way to offer the user to make the photo or data anonymous — e.g. if just one person has disagreed with a group photo, there could be a system to just blur out that person's face and remove his name tag from the photo. What do you think about it? Cheers, Matija -.-.- [1] If we're planing to use that crap anyway. -- gsm: +386 41 849 552 www: http://matija.suklje.name xmpp: [email protected]
