"When I look at the internet, I see all the amazing things it has enabled people around the globe to do. It has offered unfettered access to the power of knowledge and provided economic resources to people who wouldn’t otherwise get them. You have to have confidence in that kind of world that you’re going to be safe online. If people are scared to use the web, nothing will get done. Innovation and paranoia are contradictory on so many levels. I don’t want people to operate like that."
