Accessibility + Aaron Swartz – BOLD Magazine

"Swartz believed that information was power. The problem with power is that people ultimately want control, which is the basis of closed doors to access. People in higher positions, the government included, are afraid of that power being in the hands of the people. Which is why the fight for open access continues. We, as a people, deserve access to the proper resources and information of our society. To combat this issue, DemandProgress has a number of campaigns for internet freedom (as well as many others) to view, learn, and support. Additionally, here is a direct link to an open access directory that provides an abundance of supplemental information. Information is power. Open access to this information is necessary for advancement."
