Upholding human rights is not merely compatible with fighting terrorism, it is essential.

If we destroy human rights and rule of law in the response to terrorism, they have won.

It would be easy to define terrorism as attacks against human rights and international humanitarian law forbids attacks against innocent non-combatants which is often the definition used for terrorism.

Liberty, freedom and democracy are very fuzzy words, but human rights is very specific.

The next generation of innovators, who need neutrality the most, are not at the bargaining table. They're hard at work in their labs or classrooms, dreaming of the next big thing, and hoping that the Internet is as open to them as it was to the founders of Google.

My greatest fear is not the abuse of technology but that we will not use it at all.

You cannot underestimate people's ability to spot a soulless, bureaucratic tactic a million miles away. It's a big reason why so many companies that have dipped a toe in social media waters have failed miserably.

Each of us has a vital role to play in building a world in which the government and technology serve the world's people and not the other way around.
