この映画について

The Internet’s Own Boy follows 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 organising 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.

評価とレビュー

This a fantastic documentry very well put together and researched it highlights the injustices of US law and there draconian ways. R.I.P Aaron Swartz

Having watched this all I can think is that if the USA is meant to be the land of the free why is Aaron dead?

Isn't it amazing how many people committed suicide who challenge the government!!!
