Sociality: US-9092805-B2
Description (Dublin Core)
The project Sociality documented over twenty-thousand patents of socially manipulative information
technology. Cirio collected and rated Internet inventions submitted to the USpatent office. Subsequently,
he invited the public to share, flag, and ban the technologies designed to monitor and manipulate social
behaviors. Cirio obtained the patent images and data through hacking the Google Patents search engine.
He then rated the patents and created thousands of compositions with images of flowcharts and titles of
inventions, which were published on the project’s website: Sociality.today.
