“Radical tech groups generally take very seriously the ethical principles regulating their internal organizational dynamics. But, most importantly, these principles are mirrored in the very same services they run and in the ways they are designed. Although their services might look similar to what corporate servers offer . . . they are inspired to the values of openness (e.g., open standards, open process and open architecture), horizontal collaboration, and decentralization. Rather than profit, they put at the center the user and his/her right to anonymity, autonomy, free expression and knowledge sharing.”
