london riots. notes
This saw a fail of Panopticism maintaining order on the streets.
Panoptic tactics such as CCTV, tracking Social networks and mobile chatter failed to stop the disorder but helped enforce and catch offenders.
Shows that panopicism fails when communication between offenders is available which was never allowed in the Panopticon prison.
The Government tried to highlight that offenders are been watched an monitored constantly was enforced on the news and in the papers to try regain order.
Talking about riots was almost forbid on social networks. a few were made an example of by going to court for mentioning it in a facebook status.
reminder you are been watched.
"Visibility is a trap" removes the possibility to hide.. In numbers people can hide. safety in numbers.
How they started to control
