@aral Simply no words. Companies w lots of users have lots of impact. You want them out of the conversation, then you do you.@rightscon -
@astepanovich No, I don’t want them out of the conversation, I don’t want them *sponsoring* the conversation. Big difference.+@rightscon -
@aral Or do you just live in a perfect world where somehow money is no object?@rightscon -
@astepanovich No, I try to live in a world where when you say you are defending a certain thing, you act with integrity. +@rightscon -
@aral The implication that we are not acting with integrity is really just downright insulting. https://www.accessnow.org/about/funding@rightscon -
@astepanovich To be perfectly honest, your list of sponsors for@rightscon is downright insulting to people who care about privacy.

@aral For the record, sponsors of RightsCon have no impact on the substance of the conference or the positions taken by Access@rightscon -
@astepanovich Indeed, and institutional corruption is merely a figment of@lessig’s overactive imagination :) Money = influence.+@rightscon -
@aral I look forward to your next major conference with international participation and no corporate funding. -
@astepanovich We had one last year, it was the Ind.ie Summit — and we’re a tiny org compared to@accessnow. https://ind.ie/archive/summit/ - 1 more reply
