Quotes by John Naughton  (?)

“Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, in a speech to Cambridge students in March 2011, it is also the greatest spying machine the world has ever seen. It is not a technology that favours freedom of speech. It is not a technology that favours human rights. It is not a technology that favours civil life. Rather it is a technology that can be used to set up a totalitarian spying regime, the likes of which we have never seen.”
John Naughton, From Gutenberg to Zuckerberg: What You Really Need to Know about the Internet

“if you allow central control of a network, then innovation will proceed at the speed deemed suitable by the controller, rather than by the inventiveness of outsiders.”
John Naughton, From Gutenberg to Zuckerberg: What You Really Need to Know about the Internet

“Now, a decade and a half later, after re-reading Orwell and Huxley, we need to ask ourselves a tough question: is the Internet really unique in being immune to censorship or control?”
John Naughton, From Gutenberg to Zuckerberg: What You Really Need to Know about the Internet
