Militancy
The class figure chosen for this performance is Aaron Swartz, a young American programmer and activist born in 1986 and passed away at the age of 26. Aaron contributed to numerous revolutionary computing projects and was above all a passionate defender of freedom of expression and open access to information. He actively worked for the defense of Internet user rights and contributed to the development of many tools to facilitate access to information. Aaron Swartz committed suicide in 2013 after being charged with several federal crimes for downloading millions of academic articles he intended to make freely accessible. His suicide was largely seen as a result of aggressive prosecution by the federal government. This profile has significant educational follow-up potential regarding the issues it raises, whether they involve the right to information, connectivity, Fake News, penalization of activists, the use and role of the Internet, or mental health.
