In cyberspace, it is becoming increasingly difficult to uphold security for one's own country by sacrificing that of others.

There should be order if the development of the cyber world is to be sustainable.

Cyberspace is colonising what we used to think of as the real world. I think that our grandchildren will probably regard the distinction we make between what we call the real world and what they think of as simply the world as the quaintest and most incomprehensible thing about us.

Everybody should want to make sure that we have the cyber tools necessary to investigate cyber crimes, and to be prepared to defend against them and to bring people to justice who commit it.

The big question society will have to answer is whether it wants computers thinking like humans.

We want to bring people back to normal human social relationships. Your digital stuff can be there, but it doesn't have to take over your whole world.

It is time to stop debating whether the Internet is an effective tool for political expression and instead to address the much more urgent question of how digital technology can be structured, governed, and used to maximize the good and minimize the evil.

Countries that have the Internet already are not going to turn it off. And so the power of freedom, the power of ideas will spread, and it will change those societies in very dramatic ways.

I do agree that when it comes to cyber warfare, we have more to lose than any other nation on earth.

History is rife with examples of governments taking actions to 'protect' their citizens from harm by controlling access to information and inhibiting freedom of expression and other freedoms outlined in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We must make sure, collectively, that the Internet avoids a similar fate.
