Aaron Swartz. Born on this day! November 8, 1986. He would have been 33 today. November 9 will be observed all over the world as Aaron Swartz Day — an annual event to celebrate Aaron Swartz’s legacy as an activist, programmer, entrepreneur & political organizer. Hackathons would be organised, where diverse & passionate folks would gather & exchange ideas with each other, who believe in Freedom of #Information & #Education and Securing Digital Space for all. Remember 9th November! 💜

@Lawandemotions @BhavanaVarun sigh. Went to the memorial screening in SF a few years back. Every single person in the audience was crying.

@BhavanaVarun this is how a single person can change world for better. He wanted information to be free like it should be but was harassed by govt and power that controls the world.Rest in Peace Aaron. Your legacy still lives on

@anivar Visionary, Genuine soul & a crusader. That's how the world must remember Aaron Swartz. "Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves,” Aaron wrote in his Guerrilla Open Access Manifesto. “Forcing academics to pay money to read the work of their colleagues? Providing scientific articles to those at elite universities in the First World, but not to children in Global South? It’s outrageous & unacceptable.” We remember him! 💗

@svaksha @DrNikhil_P_B True! Shameful how activists are made to run for life! While criminals and chrony capitalists take leisures being in power.
