Rebecca MacKinnon Zitate

Deutsche Übersetzung

Facebook ist kein physisches Land, aber mit 900 Millionen Nutzern liegt die "Bevölkerung" an dritter Stelle nach China und Indien. Es kann zwar nicht in der Lage sein, seine Einwohner zu besteuern oder zu verurteilen, aber seine Führungskräfte, Programmierer und Ingenieure üben eine Art von Steuerung über die Online-Aktivitäten und Identitäten der Menschen aus.

One of my favorite activities when I was a teenager was going riding on the back of a horse with a friend of mine. Because we were rather high up, I could see into peoples' lighted windows as we trotted past. Questions would rise up inside: Who lives there? Are they happy? What are they doing? Any dogs or cats in sight?
