There's a real danger in the way our representative government functions today. It functions properly only when paired with accountability.

All this is a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because it helps people establish what they value; they understand the sort of ideas they identify with. The curse is that they aren't challenged in their views. The Internet becomes an echo chamber. Users don't see the counterarguments.

Ever since I've been here [in Russia], my life has been consumed with work that's actually fulfilling and satisfying.

I don't want to live in a society that does these sort of things.

I care more about the country than what happens to me. But we can't allow the law to become a political weapon or agree to scare people away from standing up for their rights, no matter how good the deal. I'm not going to be part of that.

A zero-day exploit is a method of hacking a system. It's sort of a vulnerability that has an exploit written for it, sort of a key and a lock that go together to a given software package. It could be an internet web server. It could be Microsoft Office. It could be Adobe Reader or it could be Facebook.

I don't want to live in a world where there's no privacy, and therefore no room for intellectual exploration and creativity.
