Any allure that globalized network-culture
once held is just  over; it's well past the "New Dark" and the
disbelieving malaise, and advanced into a subdued riot feeling.  

Environmental metaphors come naturally to Silicon Valley (e.g. “app ecosystems,” “data is the new oil”), and corporate scandal in the tech industry, particularly Facebook, is where my mind went while watching Dark Waters. Like DuPont, Facebook has developed (or at least owns and operates) a set of services that are lightly regulated and whose core technology is unknown to both everyone outside of it and many people inside. What if we had some kind of documentation that showed what Facebook knew about its products — primarily targeted advertising, which has been used for discriminating against and pushing illegal political propaganda to its users — and when it knew it? And what would the public know that it didn’t know before?
