Transparency Society

“Transparency is a neoliberal device. It forces everything into itself in order to transform it into information. In today's conditions of non-material production relations, more information and more communication mean an increase in productivity and speed. On the other hand, secrecy, foreignness and otherness create obstacles to unlimited communication. "For the sake of transparency, these should be gotten rid of."

“Transparency makes people glassy. This is where the violence is. Unlimited freedom and communication are turning into total control and surveillance. Social media increasingly resembles digital panopticons that discipline and exploit society. Transparency is an ideology. Like all ideologies, it has a positive core that has been mystified and absolutized. The danger of transparency lies in this ideologization. If it is totalized, it will lead to violence.”
