Control

Along the lines of the social punishment idea I am becoming aware of one extra notion. In each interaction in each definition, in each interface there is the idea and the notion of control. An interface provides a known way to be controlled. In any of the interactions that happen after the publication, actions are forced upon you. So you just transition from one source of control to the other. Not pleasent, but certainly being aware of it makes it easier to control.
