RE: Aaron Swartz's body may be dead but his ideas shall live on
Yea. I am coming to a realization how heroic his efforts has been for all of internet community and freedom loving society. These kinds of minds need to unite. Just imagine what he could have done with all these blockchain applications. I'd like to see all the science articles that has been published so far be kept in the blockchain.
I think it would be cool to start an online campaign to remind everyone what they did to the man that help create the modern internet. Throw it in Clinton's face that they drove a genius to suicide by threatening him with harsh charges for crimes similar to the ones she was exonerated from. Although his crime returned public information to the people, hers breached national security.
It's a same thing with snowden. Our media manipulated society, focuses on the actor( Aron, Snowden) and criminalizes them for bad illegal behavior, when in fact we should have focused on the contents that were released and the precarious societal constructions we are all living in.
