"In 2015, #Graber met with #Barlow, and boldly asked him if he had been naive, with his declaration. If he had not seen if the internet could be used to surveil and control. Barlow's answer is that he knew this was a possibility, but that his job was to inspire, to get people to believe in the positive vision that the internet could be. This is the same position that Graber takes for herself in this speech, inspiring other developers to build a better future, a world without Caesars.

Im kommenden Koalitionsvertrag werden viele verfassungs- und euoparechtswidrige Abmachungen stehen. Dazu höre ich teils beschwichtigende Worte, das wäre kein Problem, man könne die Vorhaben eh nicht umsetzen, weil z.B. Gerichte sie kassieren würden. Das verkennt, wie sich die Lage gedreht hat:
