only forty percent that
are connected today so it's still sixty
percent of the world's population that
will be connected and link to what you
have taught us that gives us such a
possibility to really change things so
in that note how do you see what the
what is the real core values that
Internet has given to humanity
we were trying to
substitute the best judgment and ideas
of 330 million Americans with the
judgment of a few officials
this
doesn't mean that our initial values
will be sort of a overthrown and cast
away by these people come in but will be
challenged in new ways will be reached
by new perspectives and we'll have a
conversation that gets broader and
richer with each passing year
the central
argument here is that the antonyms the
opposite of the word privacy is security
or the opposite of securities privacy
that privacy is this threat that's
placing us in danger but that's not
actually how it works
the absence of privacy is not the
presence of security and the presence of
security is not the absence of privacy
rather the absence of privacy is the
presence of censorship
privacy is the right to progress privacy
is what allows us to evolve because
privacy protects those who are a little
bit different
it's a false measure because every point
of progress in human history every
advance of human rights the expansion of
dignity that we all enjoy today has
begun
not only is something that was different
but in many cases a movement that was in
fact illegal
uncertainty is
the price of democracy that
unpredictability is not a weakness it's
a strength that is the thing that allows
us to evolve
absolutely yeah it's it's hard to think
of a better example of uncertainty than
Donald Trump as president
we should think about which
companies we want to support and we
should have mechanisms to understand how
these companies are operating the kind
of decisions they are making and the
social costs that are being created as a
consequence of their operations
we can
think of librarians as a professional
class that are dedicated to the
ascertain moment of facts the
familiarity of effects
I don't care
if I get hit by a bus or a drone or
dropped out of an airplane tomorrow
you know what it doesn't actually a
matter that much to me because I believe
in the decisions that I've already made
my position is that whistleblowers are
democracies safeguard of last resort in
an open society
when you tell someone what
you've done you can never take that back
