More Internet Users Quotes

It's a stable battery. — Donald Sadoway

The internet has no government, no constitution, no laws, no rights, no police, no courts. Don't talk about fairness or innocence, and don't talk about what should be done.

But society isn't ready for questions that will be raised as a result of user-generated content. — Robert O. Becker

In the Internet world, both ends essentially pay for access to the Internet system, and so the providers of access get compensated by the users at each end.

We have to start thinking of ourselves as citizens of the Internet, not just passive users. I don’t see how we can bring about change in our digital lives if we don’t take responsibility. — Rebecca MacKinnon

Stripe makes it easy for anyone, be it an individual or a small business or a large business, to accept credit card payments on the Internet.
