These are great suggestions. It would be even better to add a link to greenpizza13's explanation WHY the free internet is so important (for your untechnical facebook friends).
Some years ago Mr. Schwarz died defending the internet, don't let him die twice.
- mr_spothawk 9y agoWasn't Schwarz freedomizing literature?
- erulabs 9y agoYes, he was making papers freely available online. Papers that are created by the U.S. Academia system, which (in my opinion) is a highly regulated / controlled / subsidized ecosystem of institutions. As far as I know Schwarz never campaigned for the Department of Education to mandate "open access" to papers. Using Schwarz' name here to imply he would be -for government regulation- seems extremely wrongheaded. Using any deceased persons life as an aid to your own cause seems extremely wrongheaded too, but I suppose the major religions of the earth all rest on that very tactic...
