When people talk about Web 2.0, they mean that when the Internet, the World Wide Web, first became popular, it was one way only.

We have to argue forcefully and demand that the government recognise that these programmes do not prevent - mass surveillance does not prevent acts of terrorism.

And that's not something I'm willing to support, it's not something I'm willing to build and it's not something I'm willing to live under.

I think that's actually what's missing from government, for the most part. We've got a lot of policy people, but we have no technologists, even though technology is such a big part of our lives. It's just amazing, because even these big Silicon Valley companies, the masters of the universe or whatever, haven't engaged with Washington until recently. They're still playing catch-up.

Congress hasn't declared war on the countries - the majority of them are our allies - but without asking for public permission, NSA is running network operations against them that affect millions of innocent people. And for what? So we can have secret access to a computer in a country we're not even fighting?

The charges [government] brought against me, for example, explicitly denied my ability to make a public-interest defense.

I hope you have read the election programme of the Labour Party...this is not socialism. It is Bolshevism run mad.
