Swartz was an American computer programmer, writer, political organizer, and Internet activist, who was involved in the development of the web feed format RSS, the website framework web.py, and the social news site Reddit, in which he was an equal partner after a merger with his Infogami company. He also focused on sociology, civic awareness and activism. In 2010 he became a research fellow at Harvard University’s Safra Center for Ethics, directed by Lawrence Lessig. He founded the online group Demand Progress, known for its campaign against the Stop Online Piracy Act, and later worked with the activist groups Rootstrikers and Avaaz. He also was a contributing editor to The Baffler. He co-founded the “Demand Progress”, an advocacy group that organizes people online to take action by contacting Congress and other leaders, funding pressure tactics, and spreading the word about civil liberties, government reform, and other issues.
Why do we care?
Man’s Ego and the quest for power and authority is a very big player in the unfolding of events the world over. This has led to the introduction of laws to control man and whatever he has to do. Why can’t we live in a free world without any laws? The problems with the criminal justice system and hacking laws in particular, can create depression in the tech world. The state piles up a lot of charges that make you freak out. The state has a lot of uncalled for authority. Many a time, issues are blown out of proportion. Why, when i am arrested for a hacking offense, other than being charged for one offense, i for example, end up being charged with 20 counts? Such issues end up leaving one traumatized, stigmatized, and or victimized for a case that would otherwise have been handled differently, costing you a lot in terms of money and time. If you do not have the money, then you either die of stress and depression, or you commit suicide. I have every reason to believe that Swartz committed suicide because of a combination of the factors above.
When I use steroids to win a competition, it’s only logical that if you think that you are better than me, then use them too, and challenge me to a competition, Other than pressing charges on me and bringing me down, when u can’t do what I can in the first place.
The state should keep to itself. It should not interfere with our lives. If I can successfully hack in your network system, then just be nice to me and invite me for a cup of coffee, because I will have shown you where the vulnerability in your system lies.
Why should we bring down people who only prove a point? Why why why?
I rest my case.
