I'm not a communist, a socialist or a radical. But these issues have to be addressed.

I saw things that reached a point that I could no longer conscientiously participate with them. And I simply do what I could to allow the public to make a better decision about whether or not these things should continue.

What is right is not always the same as what is legal

What we're seeing now, or starting to see, is an atomization of the Internet community. Before, everybody went only to a few sites; now we've got all these boutiques.

The majority of people in developed countries spend at least some time interacting with the Internet, and Governments are abusing that necessity in secret to extend their powers beyond what is necessary and appropriate.

We can't simply scare people into giving up their rights, on the basis, oh, this protects us from terrorism.

I have used mass surveillance to target people, so I do know how it works.
