[Mike Godwin, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Wikipedia consultant lawyer:] "I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say 'Daddy, where were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"'
