    MIT needs to step up and protect its community. https://medium.com/@starsandrobots/understandably-cause-for-alarm-1f0929be0615#.4mdyh9uz2 … My thoughts after speaking at @EFF's Freedom to Innovate #f2i

        One week after publishing this, I am overwhelmed by the positive response. Thanks to the more than 7k people who read and shared.

        A number of MIT alum have stated to me that they will work to support, or will designate their alumni donations to the legal clinic.

        I can't tell you how heartening it is to see this — the response in 2007 was so wholly different to what's happening now.

        @starsandrobots the last time I saw Aaron Swartz he asked me if I knew anyone at MIT who could help him. :(

        @natfriedman augh. I feel much pain and anguish about Aaron, as we all do, on which I could write several more essays.

        @natfriedman in particular, not being allowed to speak about my case and how that damped my abilities to get help. So too his. Awful.

        @starsandrobots @natfriedman I emailed Aaron and offered to help but never heard back. It turns out we shared a lawyer, though.

        @natfriedman @starsandrobots I wish I had met him. I was absolutely devastated that MIT could have done so much for him and chose not to.
