Christian Madsbjerg and Mikkel Rasmussen:

These were children who were driven everywhere in SUVs with carefully managed after-school activities. The researchers noted that the moms were also "staging" their children's development. They were trying to shape children who were creative, fun, outgoing, humorous, intelligent, and quiet all at the same time.

Alan Jacobs:

By enforcing surveillance as the normative form of care, the state effectively erases the significance of all other forms of care. Parents might teach their children nothing of value, no moral standards, no self-discipline, no compassion for others -- but as long as those children are incessantly observed, then according to the state's standards the parents of those children are good parents. And they are good because they are training their children to accept a lifetime of passive acceptance of surveillance.

Peter Gray:

One playmate was blindfolded; then one of the others would step forward and hit him hard on the face; and then, with blindfold removed, the one who had been hit had to guess, from facial expressions or other evidence, who had hit him.

Esther Perel:

When there is nothing left to hide, there is nothing left to seek.

Jack Julian:

Alain Philippon, 38, of Ste-Anne-des-Plaines, Que., refused to divulge his cellphone password to Canada Border Services Agency during a customs search Monday night at Halifax Stanfield International Airport.

Philippon had arrived in Halifax on a flight from Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. He's been charged under section 153.1 (b) of the Customs Act for hindering or preventing border officers from performing their role under the act.

Hans de Zwart:

If your child is ignoring your calls and doesn't reply to your texts, you can use the 'Ignore no more' app. It will lock your child's phone until they call you back. This clearly shows that most surveillance is about control. Control is the reason why we take pleasure in surveilling ourselves more and more.

Rob Dunn:

Our shadows of shed life sustain multitudes.

Rachel Emma Silverman:

Under a Delaware law passed last summer, executors can now access online accounts without a court order, unless the deceased has instructed otherwise. So far this year, at least 13 states, including Florida, Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota and Washington, are considering versions of this digital data act.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery:

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
