"When #tech people talk about 'democratizing' something, like driving directions or online banking, what they really mean is access. Access is fine, but it's just access. It's a drive-through window, not a door. Access is only part of what democracy has always entailed—alongside real ownership, governance, and accountability. Democracy is a process, not a product." —Nathan Schneider, Everything for Everyone
