Diplomacy has always involved dinners with ruling elites, backroom deals and clandestine meetings. Now, in the digital age, the reports of all those parties and patrician chats can be collected in one enormous database. And once collected in digital form, it becomes very easy for them to be shared Picture Quote #1

The speed with which WikiLeaks went from niche interest to global prominence was a real-time example of the revolutionizing power of the digital age in which information can spread instantly across the globe through networked individuals Picture Quote #1

There’s not a self-regulating group of nice fair-playing people in politics. There are a lot of dodgy people in politics Picture Quote #1

I’m a freedom of information campaigner, so obviously I support the cause of Wikileaks Picture Quote #1

The hacker community may be small, but it possesses the skills that are driving the global economies of the future Picture Quote #1

Politicians often claim secrecy is necessary for good governance or national security Picture Quote #1

I know people don’t like America very much, but the one thing it’s very good on is local government Picture Quote #1

It is quite surreal having a film made about your life. The whole process of turning real life into drama is interesting in itself, but even more so when it is your own life being put into the narrative forge Picture Quote #1

Newspapers are not free and they never have been. They can appear to be so, but someone, somewhere is covering the costs whether that is through advertising, a patron’s largesse or a license fee. Advertising is no longer subsidising the industry and so the cost must fall somewhere - why not on the people who use it? Picture Quote #1

Hackerspaces are the digital-age equivalent of English Enlightenment coffee houses. They are places open to all, indifferent to social status, and where ideas and knowledge hold primary value Picture Quote #1

In Britain, it’s bred into you, the idea that you can’t really change anything, so why bother. When I went to school in America, it was the total opposite view - you, as an individual, can change anything and everything. It’s how you’re raised Picture Quote #1

I trained as a journalist in America where paying sources is frowned upon. Now I work in the U.K. where there is a more flexible attitude Picture Quote #1

There are corporate private investigators, companies doing very forensic background checks on people. They buy data, they get their own data... They don’t want their industry publicised Picture Quote #1

People are used to getting a lot of information quickly, and they’re used to being quite empowered as consumers, and they go to governments expecting a similar treatment; they want to find data and they want to influence events quickly, and yet they come into this brick wall Picture Quote #1

If the public can’t see justice being done, or afford the costs of justice, then the entire system becomes little more than a cozy club solely for the benefit of judges, lawyers and their lackeys, a sort of care in the community for the upper middle classes Picture Quote #1

In America, you have the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. You’ve got drones now being considered for domestic surveillance. You have the National Security Agency building the world’s giantest spy center Picture Quote #1

I’ve always worked on the fringe of the British press establishment, carving out this niche for myself Picture Quote #1
