Eben Moglen on persuasive design:

"It's very important to recognize that once behavior collection is what the network really does, then what it attempts to maximize is behavior. This lies beneath the increasingly important intellectual discipline known as persuasive design"
Eben Moglen on news feeds and constant notification:

"The stream of what comes to you [on the net] drowns the inner dialogue, removes interiority, changes your understanding of time. 'Too long didn't read'. How long is too long?"
Eben Moglen on the decay of the ability to read:

"We couldn't have foreseen that the people who came after us would be crippled in acquiring that ability [to read] by that incessant disturbance by the machine seeking attention."
