-Anyone interested on joining me to watch this documentary?:
"THE INTERNET’S OWN BOY: THE STORY OF AARON SWARTZ" -Its playing last show
tonight at 7pm in SF.
"The story of programming prodigy and information activist Aaron Swartz.
From Swartz’s help in the development of the basic
internet protocol RSS
to his co-founding of Reddit, his fingerprints are all over
the internet.
But it was Swartz’s groundbreaking work in social justice and political
organizing combined with his aggressive approach to information access
that ensnared him in a two year legal nightmare. It was a battle that
ended with the taking of his own life at the age of 26. Aaron’s story
touched a nerve with people far beyond the online communities in which he
was a celebrity. This film is a personal story about what we lose when we
are tone deaf about technology and its relationship to our civil
liberties.
* Filmmaker in attendance for post-screening Q&A on 6/12 and 6/13"
