Quotation of the Day for October 30, 2013



"When did it become inappropriate to inform people about legally protected rights related to technical issues? Is talking about legal rights the new porn? Apple doesn't scrub comments that try to help people by telling them to refer complaints to the feedback page - for in the Sharing Economy that is the Internet, that's free information donated to Apple. But when someone offers advice that tries to help people by telling them to exercise their rights, it gets purged?"

- Lawrence Lessig, Internet activist, on Apple censoring discussion of WiFi problems on iPhone caused by Apple's iOS 7.0.3 upgrade.
