yeah too bad the award isn't named after aaron - who inspired this penance from m.i.t.

Give them a few years, owning up is a process mate ;)

Snowden should get this he defines disobedience for the good of humanity

I think he would still be fighting for net neutrality and advocating for internet privacy. He probably would have created many more awesome tools and projects that would have benefited us all. He had already achieved so much before the age of 26 so I can only imagine the great things he had planned...

Terrific question, he surely would be into crypto, which could use a voice like his instead of the fintech grubbers we have.

i think aaron could have stayed right on the cause he died for: human rights to medical information. it's a simple truth now: process medical data and save lives.

today aaron could unlock the data that has been retrieved from all of us by villains worse than than he ever faced.

he was also a talented programmer and could likely help build the ai that can process this data for the benefit of mankind. it's a situation that begs for the open source spirit aaron encapsulated.
