Democracy and freedom of information (Snowden)
"..in a democracy, ultimately, the government is supposed to derive its
legitimacy from the consent of the governed. But that consent is only
meaningful if it’s informed. If we’re denied the basic facts about just
the broadest outlines of the powers and policies that the government is
perpetuating both in our name and that they’re then using against us in
some cases, we do not control government, rather government controls us..." - Edward Snoden
