Panopticism internalized?

Writing about an entry you don't have permission to view

The Arcadian on blogging: 'I have near on complete control over everything here…'

Foucault, Discipline and Punish: 'Hence the major effect of the Panopticon: to induce in the inmate a state of conscious and permanent visibility that assures the automatic functioning of power.'

And the twist is that in the blog space you can be both the inmate and the warder.
