It's important to distinguish between "worry versus harm" when it came to privacy online.

We have always tried to concentrate on the long term, and to place bets on technology we believe will have a significant impact over time.

I try to focus on that: What is the future really going to be? And how do we create it? And how do we power our organization to really focus on that and really drive it at a high rate?
