Aaron Swartz Rememberance Day This Monday
For the general public he was seen as just another hacktivist along with various
hacktivist groups that were active around the time like lulzsec and anonymous.
But for the wider internet community, he represents something much much more,
especially post 2020 where we are all questioning many aspect of governance
that we take for granted as the normal state of the world.
In November the eight of 1986 Aaron Swartz was born. While his early childhood
was like any oth ... ⌘ Read more
