Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000000410

Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000002380
As leakers take great risks in releasing information, assuring them that they are not sacrificing themselves in vain and that their leaks would have public consequences would most likely encourage more people to leak. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000014477
As befits Silicon Valley, 'big data' is mostly big hype, but there is one possibility with genuine potential: that it might one day bring loans - and credit histories - to millions of people who currently lack access to them. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000038159

Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000072108

Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000096803
In reality, quitting Facebook is much more problematic than the company's executives suggest, if only because users cannot extract all the intangible social capital they have generated on the site and export it elsewhere. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000096806
The bigger the network, the harder it is to leave. Many users find it too daunting to start afresh on a new site, so they quietly consent to Facebook's privacy bullying. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000106738
Cybercriminals are usually driven by profit, while cyberterrorists are driven by ideology. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000122738
The idea that the Internet favors the oppressed rather than the oppressor is marred by what I call cyber-utopianism: a naive belief in the emancipatory nature of online communication that rests on a stubborn refusal to admit its downside. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000126948
If you trace the history of mankind, our evolution has been mediated by technology, and without technology it's not really obvious where we would be. So I think we have always been cyborgs in this sense. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000129500
Information technology has been one of the leading drivers of globalization, and it may also become one of its major victims. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000135288
One would think that by the second decade of the twenty-first century, the intellectual poverty of technocracy and the primacy of politics over it would be a well-established truth in need of no further defense. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000136949
If you use your smart toothbrush, the data can be immediately sent to your dentist and your insurance company, but it also allows someone from the NSA to know what was in your mouth three weeks ago. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000147816
Once Google is selected to run the infrastructure on which we are changing the world, Google will be there for ever. Democratic accountability will not be prevalent. You cannot file a public information request about Google. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000158585
The newspaper offers something very different from Google's aggregators. It offers a value system, an idea of what matters in the world. Newspapers need to start articulating that value. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000195475
If you want to plan a revolution, you never do it in public - the authorities show up and arrest everyone. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000196761

Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000203700

Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000241131
To me, the success of the cyberactivists in Tunisia is actually very interesting, because many of them explicitly rejected any support from Washington. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000255377
Mobile phones are one of the most insecure devices that were ever available, so they're very easy to trace; they're very easy to tap. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000273108
The reason why there is more pessimism about technology in Europe has to do with history, the use of databases to keep track of people in the camps, ecological disasters. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000278054
Jean-Paul Sartre, the existentialist philosopher who celebrated the anguish of decision as a hallmark of responsibility, has no place in Silicon Valley. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331899
Whether greater cybersecurity requires a greater sacrifice of our digital freedoms is an important debate that we should be having, preferably with all the facts in front of us. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331900
Revolution may not be pro-Western or democratic. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331901

Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331902
The global triumph of American technology has been predicated on the implicit separation between the business interests of Silicon Valley and the political interests of Washington. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331903
In part, slacktivism is what happens when the energy of otherwise dedicated activists is wasted on approaches that are less effective than the alternatives. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331904
Most other documents leaked to WikiLeaks do not carry the same explosive potential as candid cables written by American diplomats. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331905
For many oppositional movements, the Internet, while providing the opportunity to distribute information more quickly and cheaper, may have actually made their struggle more difficult in the long run. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331906
There is no doubt that the Internet brims with spamming, scamming and identity fraud. Having someone wipe out your hard drive or bank account has never been easier, and the tools for committing electronic mischief on your enemies are cheap and widely accessible. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331907
There is this group of people who love innovation. Those people want to innovate, and they think the Internet is a wonderful tool for innovation, which is true. But you also have to remember that much of that innovation is constrained within the realities of the foreign policy. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331908
In Google's world, public space is just something that stands between your house and the well-reviewed restaurant that you are dying to get to. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331909
There is this absurd assumption that the revitalisation of the public sphere is always a good thing. I think people tend to confuse 'civic' and 'civil,' and they believe that everything that is done by citizens is necessarily a good thing because you build a network, an association. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331910
To understand the limits and opportunities of algorithms in the context of artistic creation, we need to understand that the latter usually consists of three elements: discovery, production, and recommendation. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331911
The implications are clear: Facebook wants to build an Internet where watching films, listening to music, reading books and even browsing is done not just openly but socially and collaboratively. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331912
Information wants to eat brie. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331913

Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331914

Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331915

Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331916

Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331919
There are good reasons why we don't want everyone to learn nuclear physics, medicine or how financial markets work. Our entire modern project has been about delegating power over us to skilled people who want to do the work and be rewarded accordingly. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331920
When it is about technology, there is this tendency to just reject all criticism as being anti-technological and anti-modern. I think this is very unhealthy. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331921
We must not fixate on what this new arsenal of digital technologies allows us to do without first inquiring what is worth doing. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331922
This marketization of personal information is a big mistake. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331923
Apple has an opening to say, 'The tools we are selling to you will enable you to do things rather than do things for you.' Google's vision is tools that will do things for you. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331924
Social media's greatest assets - anonymity, 'virality,' interconnectedness - are also its main weaknesses. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331925
If China's expansion into Africa and Russia's into Latin America and the former Soviet Union are any indication, Silicon Valley's ability to expand globally will be severely limited, if only because Beijing and Moscow have no qualms about blending politics and business. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331926
Free open-source software, by its nature, is unlikely to feature secret back doors that lead directly to Langley, Va. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331927
I worry that as the problem-solving power of our technologies increases, our ability to distinguish between important and trivial or even non-existent problems diminishes. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331928
It is true that authoritarian governments increasingly see the Internet as a threat in part because they see the U.S. government behind the Internet. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331929

Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331930
Much of the real computer talent today is concentrated in the private sector. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331931
My homeland of Belarus is an unlikely place for an Internet revolution. The country, controlled by authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko since 1994, was once described by Condoleezza Rice as 'the last outpost of tyranny in Europe.' -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331932
For Silicon Valley and its idols, innovation is the new selfishness. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331933
In China, Internet surveillance has already become a profitable industry. In fact, a growing number of private firms eagerly assist the local police by aggregating this data and presenting it in easy-to-browse formats, allowing humans to pursue more analytical tasks. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331934
In the past it would take you weeks, if not months, to identify how Iranian activists connect to each other. Now you know how they connect to each other by looking at their Facebook page. KGB ... used to torture in order to get this data. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331935
You actually see liberals checking 'Fox News,' if only to know what the conservatives are thinking. And you're seeing conservatives who venture into liberal sources, just to know what 'The New York Times' is thinking. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331936
If Amazon's dream of a world without gatekeepers becomes reality, then the company itself will become a powerful gatekeeper. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331937
My hunch is that people often affiliate with causes online for selfish and narcissistic purposes. Sometimes, it may be as simple as trying to impress their online friends, and once you have fashioned that identity, there is very little reason to actually do anything else. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331938
Amnesia and complete indifference to history (especially the history of technological amnesia) remain the defining features of contemporary Internet debate. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331939
The most effective system of Internet control is not the one that has the most sophisticated and draconian system of censorship, but the one that has no need for censorship whatsoever. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331940
Would you like all of your Facebook friends to sift through your trash? A group of designers from Britain and Germany think that you might. Meet BinCam: a 'smart' trash bin that aims to revolutionize the recycling process. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331941
Military commanders do not want to be tried for war crimes, even if those crimes are committed online. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331942
I'm not on Facebook. I have a sort of anonymous account that I check, like, once every six months every time Facebook rolls out a new feature. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331943
I think governments will increasingly be tempted to rely on Silicon Valley to solve problems like obesity or climate change because Silicon Valley runs the information infrastructure through which we consume information. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331944
It is easy to be seen as either a genius or a crank. If you have a Ph.D., at least you somewhat lower the chances that you will be seen as a crank. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331945
Truly smart technologies will remind us that we are not mere automatons who assist big data in asking and answering questions. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331946
There is this huge Roma problem in Europe. There are a lot of Romas who are discriminated against in countries like the Czech Republic or Hungary. They are an ethnic minority that in Europe everyone loves to hate. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331947
Cyberattacks have become a permanent fixture on the international scene because they have become easy and cheap to launch. Basic computer literacy and a modest budget can go a long way toward invading a country's cyberspace. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331948
It's true that virtually all new technologies do trigger what sociologists would call 'moral panics,' that there are a lot of people who are concerned with the possible political and social consequences, and that this has been true throughout the ages. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331949
The Internet has made it much more effective and cheaper to spread propaganda. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331950
Calling China's online censorship system a 'Great Firewall' is increasingly trendy, but misleading. All walls, being the creation of engineers, can be breached with the right tools. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331951
Contrary to the utopian rhetoric of social media enthusiasts, the Internet often makes the jump from deliberation to participation even more difficult, thwarting collective action under the heavy pressure of never-ending internal debate. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331952
When someone at the State Department proclaims Facebook to be the most organic tool for promoting democracy the world has ever seen - that's a direct quote - it may help in the short run by getting more people onto Facebook by making it more popular with dissidents. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331953
Cloud computing is a great euphemism for centralization of computer services under one server. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331954
Is there anything more self-defeating than using technology to free up your time - so that you can learn how to do an even better job at it? -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331955
Technological defeatism - a belief that, since a given technology is here to stay, there's nothing we can do about it other than get on with it and simply adjust our norms - is a persistent feature of social thought about technology. We'll come to pay for it very dearly. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331956
'Solutionism' for me is, above all, an unthinking pursuit of perfection - by means of technology - without coming to grips with the fact that imperfection is an essential feature of liberal democracy. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331957
A lot of the geeks in Silicon Valley will tell you they no longer believe in the ability of policymakers in Washington to accomplish anything. They don't understand why people end up in politics; they would do much more good for the world if they worked at Google or Facebook. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331958
Search without Google is like social networking without Facebook: unimaginable. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331959
If WikiLeaks were a for-profit company, determining its real value would be a nearly impossible task. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331960
Sleephackers go to bed with sensors on their wrists and foreheads and maintain detailed electronic sleep diaries, which they often share online. To shift between sleep phases, sleephackers experiment with various diets, room and body temperatures, and kinds of pre-sleep physical exercise. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331961
While free software was meant to force developers to lose sleep over ethical dilemmas, open source software was meant to end their insomnia. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331962
We've never thought too deeply about the roles things like forgetting or partisanship or inefficiency or ambiguity or hypocrisy play in our political or social life. It's been impossible to get rid of them, so we took them for granted, and we kind of thought, naively, that they're always the enemy. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331963
We can now with Google Glasses record everything around us, and we can make sure that nothing is ever forgotten because everything is stored somewhere in Google servers or somewhere else. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331964
Simply getting a country's population online is not going to trigger a revolution in critical thinking. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331965
Diplomacy is, perhaps, one element of the U.S. government that should not be subject to the demands of 'open government'; whenever it works, it is usually because it is done behind closed doors. But this may be increasingly hard to achieve in the age of Twittering bureaucrats. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331966
My fear is that many institutions will eventually alter how they treat people who refuse to self-track. There are all sorts of political and moral implications here, and I'm not sure that we have grappled with any of them. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331967
We need to start seeing privacy as a commons - as some kind of a public good that can get depleted as too many people treat it carelessly or abandon it too eagerly. What is privacy for? This question needs an urgent answer. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331968
WikiLeaks is what happens when the entire U.S. government is forced to go through a full-body scanner. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331969
IPod liberalism [is] where we assume that every single Iranian or Chinese who happens to have and love his iPod will also love liberal democracy. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331970
When we get the remote Russian village online, what will get people to the Internet is not going to be reports from Human Rights Watch. It's going to be pornography, 'Sex and the City,' or maybe funny videos of cats. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331971
In short, Google prefers a world where we consistently go to three restaurants to a world where our choices are impossible to predict. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331972
Technology changes all the time; human nature, hardly ever. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331973
If my idea was just to maintain a certain lifestyle, there would be no need to get a Ph.D. But I do care very deeply about the idea side as well. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331974
[People] somehow assume that the Internet is going to be the catalyst of change that will push young people into the streets, while in fact it may actually be the new opium for the masses which will keep the same people in their rooms downloading pornography. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331975
As smart technologies become more intrusive, they risk undermining our autonomy by suppressing behaviors that someone somewhere has deemed undesirable. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331976
To reject solutionism is to transcend the narrow-minded rationalistic mindset that recasts every instance of an efficiency deficit [ ... ] as an obstacle that needs to be overcome. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331977
You know, it's not a given that there is an 'online' and 'offline' world out there. When you use the telephone, you don't say that I'm entering some 'telephono-sphere.' You don't say that, and there is no obvious need to say that when you are using a modem. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000331978
The Internet can empower groups whose aims are in fact antithetical to democracy. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000388071
I spent two years in Palo Alto - what an awful, suffocating place for those of us who don't care about yoga, yogurts and start-ups - and now I have moved to Cambridge, MA - which, in many respects, is like Palo Alto but a bit snarkier. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000436244
A vibrant civil society can challenge those in power by documenting corruption or uncovering activities like the murder of political enemies. In democracies, this function is mostly performed by the media, NGOs or opposition parties. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000456644
Smart technologies are not just disruptive; they can also preserve the status quo. Revolutionary in theory, they are often reactionary in practice. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000588630
I have no problem with technological solutions to social problems. The key question for me is, 'Who gets to implement them?' and, 'What kinds of politics of reform do technological solutions smuggle through the back door?' -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000610176
I don't think love for technology itself breeds change. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000615133
Steve Jobs was notoriously blunt about products he found wanting, but his attack on Flash - Adobe's popular technology for playing multimedia content inside a browser - was particularly vicious. Claiming it was buggy and insecure, Jobs banned it from the iPad. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000639030
Dictators aren't stupid, or regimes could be toppled easily by young people mobilizing on Facebook. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000800721
If the only hammer you are given is the Internet, it's not surprising that every possible social and political problem is presented as an online nail. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000922361
In business, standards establish the rules of the game, creating path dependencies as investments are made and corresponding designs are set in stone and plastic. Inferior standards can prevail due to smart marketing or industry collusion. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 000966252
Just as Josef K, the protagonist of Kafka's 'The Trial,' awoke one day to discover that he had become part of some unfathomable legal carnival, we, too are frequently waking to discover that the rules of the digital game have once again profoundly changed. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 001048382
Universities ought to be aware of the degree they would want to accept funding from governments like China to work on, say, face recognition technology. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 001247055
The spirit of the Internet. This spirit is a powerful myth concocted by overzealous legal activists, and the sooner we bury it, the better. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 001306293
The goal of privacy is not to protect some stable self from erosion but to create boundaries where this self can emerge, mutate, and stabilize. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 001437948
The message I'm trying to send is that technology is political, and that many decisions that look like decisions about technology actually are not at all about technology - they are about politics, and they need to be scrutinized as closely as we would scrutinize decisions about politics. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 001453640
For much of its existence, design was all about convenience. We wanted to hide technology so that users are not distracted into thinking about the tools they use. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 001471651
The Egyptian experience suggests that social media can greatly accelerate the death of already dying authoritarian regimes. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 001559988
I'm active on Twitter, and I love my iPad and my Kindle. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 001595853
This is the real tragedy of America's 'Internet freedom agenda': It's going to be the dissidents in China and Iran who will pay for the hypocrisy that drove it from the very beginning. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 001674288
Personalization can be very useful in some contexts but very harmful in others. Searching for pizza online, it's probably OK to keep showing the same pizza shop as your No. 1 choice. I don't see any big political consequences out of that. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 001687917
I want my government to do something about my privacy - I don't want to just do it on my own. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 001760215
North Korea aside, most authoritarian governments have already accepted the growth of the Internet culture as inevitable; they have little choice but to find ways to shape it in accord with their own narratives - or risk having their narratives shaped by others. -- Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov Quotes : pic 001784481
To fully absorb the lessons of the Internet, urge the Internet-centrists, we need to reshape our political and social institutions in its image. -- Evgeny Morozov
