When I first came upon Merkel’s Facebook profile I was shocked. Her face was everywhere in the media and here it was again on Facebook. I questioned whether her presence on Facebook was an invitation to intimacy? If I painted her profile picture enough, could I know her? I tried the same with Obama, Snowden and Pope Francis. How and by whom these profiles are maintained is also very interesting.
