Franklin Foer Quotes

When I started off in journalism, you knew there was an audience out there and that you wanted people to read what you produced.

And there's a reason drug companies should focus on saving and improving lives - not jeopardizing them.

Governmental surveillance is not about the government collecting the information you're sharing publicly and willingly; it's about collecting the information you don't think you're sharing at all, such as the online searches you do on search engines... or private emails or text messages... or the location of your mobile phone at any time.
