I know that fundamentally, changes to the fabric of the internet, and sort of our methods of communication, can enforce our rights.

As for my personal politics, some people seem to think I'm some kind of archlibertarian, a hyper-conservative.

There are programs such as the NSA paying RSA $10 million to use an insecure encryption standard by default in their products. That's making us more vulnerable not just to the snooping of our domestic agencies, but also foreign agencies.

There have been times throughout American history where what is right is not the same as what is legal. Sometimes to do the right thing you have to break the law.

If the government or the parties won't address our needs, we will. It's about direct action, even civil disobedience.

I've talked to a lot of pretty good lawyers around the world. I'm non-extraditable. That's the real reason the US government was pissed off, even when I was initially in Hong Kong.

I describe myself as an indoor cat, because I'm a computer guy and I always have been.
