RMS, Aaron Swartz Among 2013 Internet Hall of Fame Inductees

Posted by Soulskill on from the barry-bonds-given-the-cold-shoulder-again dept.

gnujoshua writes "The Internet Hall of Fame inducted 32 new members, today. This years class had a number of 'policy innovators' and activists including Aaron Swartz (posthumous), John Perry Barlow, Jimmy Wales, and Richard M. Stallman. Stallman had this to say upon his induction: 'Now that we have made the Internet work, the next task is to stop it from being a platform for massive surveillance, and make it work in a way that respects human rights, including privacy.'"

    Fuck Swartz, he was an asshole who did something he knew was illegal then was so surprised he was going to be punished, he offed himself.

    Fuck Stallman, he is a crazy piece of shit who thinks he should have the right to take what others do without paying for it. He isn't a communist, he is a fucking two year old.
