(Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)
A number of countries, including Russia and China, have put forward proposals to regulate aspects of the Internet like ‘crime’ and ‘security’ that are currently unregulated at the global level due to lack of international consensus over what those terms actually mean or over how to balance enforcement with the protection of citizens’ rights. (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)
In the wake of the Internet getting shut down in Egypt - something that also happened in Xinjiang - I know that there are groups working on ways to help people get online when domestic networks get shut down. This could also be of use to some people in China. (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)

Any new legal measures, or cooperative arrangements between government and companies meant to keep people from organizing violence or criminal actions, must not be carried out in ways that erode due process, rule of law and the protection of innocent citizens’ political and civil rights. (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)
Over the past several decades, a growing number of investors have been choosing to put their money in funds that screen companies for their environmental and labor records. Some socially responsible investors are starting to add free expression and privacy to their list of criteria. (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)
If China someday gains a more fair, just, and accountable system of government, it will be due to the hard work and efforts of the Chinese people, not due to the inexorable workings of any particular technology. (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)
There is no country on Earth where Internet and telecommunications companies do not face at least some pressure from governments to do things that would potentially infringe on users’ rights to free expression and privacy. (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)
Despite the Obama administration’s proclaimed commitment to global Internet freedom, the executive branch is not transparent about the types and capabilities of surveillance technologies it is sourcing and purchasing - or about what other governments are purchasing the same technology. (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)
Every year in China, Internet executives are officially rewarded for their ‘patriotism.’ (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)
It took a generation for companies to recognise their responsibilities in terms of labour practices and another generation for them to recognise their environmental obligations. (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)
Without global human rights, labor and environmental movements, companies would still be hiring 12-year-olds as a matter of course and poisoning our groundwater without batting an eyelid. (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)
What role did the Internet play in the Egyptian Revolution? People will be arguing about the answer to that question for decades if not centuries. (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)
For centuries, the Yangtze River - the longest in Asia - has played an important role in China’s history, culture, and economy. The Yangtze is as quintessentially Chinese as the Nile is Egyptian or the Rhine is German. Many businesses use its name. (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)

In China’s big cities, American products - say, for instance, Proctor and Gamble shampoos or many other goods - are widely coveted by a lot of Chinese consumers. (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)

Speech within the kingdom of Amazonia - run by its sovereign Jeff Bezos and his board of directors with help from the wise counsel and judgment of the company’s executives - is not protected in the same way that speech is constitutionally protected in America’s public spaces. (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)
I lived in China for 9 years straight. I saw how my Chinese friends benefited and gained much more freedom to determine the course of their lives, their jobs, their creative works, and their identities over the course of a decade. Much of this increased freedom is thanks to economic engagement by the West. (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)
Only about 10 percent of India’s population uses the web, making it unlikely that Internet freedom will be a decisive ballot-box issue anytime soon. (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)
Even in democratic society, we don’t have good answers how to balance the need for security on one hand and the protection of free speech on the other in our digital networks. (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)
It’s a tough problem that a company faces once they branch out beyond one set of offices in California into that big bad world out there. (Rebecca MacKinnon Quotes)
