The question that we, as a society, have to ask is, are our collective rights worth a small relative advantage in our ability to spy on other countries and foreign citizens? I have my opinion about that, but we all collectively have to come to our opinion about it.

I have had many opportunities to flee HK, but I would rather stay and fight the United States government in the courts, because I have faith in Hong Kong's rule of law.

We decentralise the ability to decide the level of publicity that's attached to any of our communications.

I do everything on the computer. TV is obsolete technology for me.

As I said before, [patriotism] is distinct from acting to benefit the government - a distinction that's increasingly lost today.

What has a great value to us as a nation is the internet itself. The internet is critical infrastructure to the United States. We use the internet for every communication that businesses rely on every day.
