Each and every one of us has a vital part to play in building the kind of world in which government and technology serve the world's people and not the other way around.

We’re at a point in history that whether the Internet is going to evolve in a way that’s compatible with democracy and human rights is really kind of up in the air.

Governance is a way of organizing, amplifying, and constraining power.

Increasingly, people have very little tolerance for anything that smacks of propaganda.

We have to start thinking of ourselves as citizens of the Internet, not just passive users. I don’t see how we can bring about change in our digital lives if we don’t take responsibility.

The only legitimate purpose of government is to serve citizens, and ... the only legitimate purpose of technology is to improve our lives, not to manipulate or enslave us.

In modern politics, even the leader of the free world needs help from the sultan of Facebookistan.
