It seems that Julian Assange along with Mark Zuckerberg, creators of Wikileaks and Facebook may be on the list of nominations for the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize. If you make a website that garners you condemnations from almost every government in the planet because you revealed thousands of their secret messages then you’re certainly doing something right, creating a for profit website that links your friends with your other friends which trades in the data it gleans from its 500 million users might not seem like such a strong candidate.
The key issue is that they’re both media which allows for the free movement of information. Restrictive governments despise them and in the case of Facebook will block access in times of civil unrest while they block Wikileaks out of hand. But then the US government does as well, at least to all it’s staff using US Government computers or browsers at the United States Library of Congress.
The Nobel prize is awarded to people who “Have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses” so previous winners such as The Red Cross and Medecins Sans Frontieres are natural competitors for the prize a website that releases sensitive secrets and one which buys and sells marketing space might not seem to be quite so worthy.
Facebook has often been lorded my those involved in ground level movements as a factor in mobilising people to demonstrate though. It allows its users the opportunity to complain and comment about the treatment they receive in their country and join together in popular movements to do something about the issues that concern them. Today the first thing people who have an issue concerning their treatment say they’re going to do is start a Facebook group. If you want to rally opinion don’t bother writing to the media, start a group and tweet it!
