« *Privacy and encryption work, but it's too easy to make a mistake that exposes you. Tails puts the essential tools in one place, with a design that makes it hard to screw them up. I could not have talked to Edward Snowden without this kind of protection. I wish I'd had it years ago.* »
« *War reporters have to buy helmets, bullet-proof vests and rent armored cars; journalists using the Internet for their investigations are much luckier: to be as secured as war reporters, they only have to download Tails, burn it on a CD, install it on a SD card, and learn the basics of information and communication security, and it's free!* »
« *I think most of the public domain privacy tools are going to be safe, yes. [...] I think that Tails is going to be safe. [...] You know, the NSA has a big lever when a tool is written closed-source by a for-profit corporation.

« *News organizations need to also contribute to this community pool of tools. We need to have [reporters] contributing patches to PGP, OTR, and Tails. These organizations need to be funding $5.000 or $10.000 improvements to make these tools better. Because everyone is relying on these tools and none of the major organizations that are actually benefiting them are actually contributing to their development.* »
