Freedom to Think Quotes

“Privacy and data protection have been the primary language of human rights in the sphere of technology over the past two decades, but the language of data protection never really opened up the problem for me... By focusing on data, we are looking at the techniques companies use to get inside our heads, not the impact of it... If you look at regulating our relationship with technology from the perspective of protecting our minds rather than protecting our data, the solutions become simpler, but also more radical. The question of regulation shifts to purposes and potential impact rather than the technicalities.”

“We don't need new rights to deal with new realities; we just need to understand what the rights we have mean for us today.”
