X Abstract

Our contribution wants to encourage a discussion about the very basic assumptions behind the design of social networking systems and suggest that reputation and trust are not objective quantities on which everyone can and should agree but instead reflections of subjective and personal beliefs that might differ among different people. This latter assumption should guide the design of online systems powered by the next generation electronic identities.
