We now expect Google, Facebook, Twitter and other companies to police the Internet for dangerous and illegal material - violent, terrorist, criminal - and some democratic governments require them to do so. But what if they did decide to repress material for political reasons? How would we know?

Anne Applebaum

The Obama administration has issued numerous orders essentially suspending deportations, prompting a major spike in illegal crossings.

Aaron Klein

Understand that legal and illegal are political, and often arbitrary, categorizations; use and abuse are medical, or clinical, distinctions.

Abbie Hoffman

I get asked this question a lot. Am I really pro-life? Am I against abortion in all circumstances? Yes. Do I believe there are any exceptions for abortion? No. Do you want to make abortion illegal? Yes.

Abby Johnson

People have a good reason to be afraid of tear gas, considering it's a banned agent of war under the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention. Here's the catch - there's a clause in the treaty that includes an exception for domestic use. Yes, it's illegal for the U.S. military to use tear gas against ISIS, but cool to use against American citizens.

Abby Martin

Age discrimination is illegal. But when compared with discrimination against racial minorities and women, it is a second-class civil rights issue.

Adam Cohen

I'd known that the visit would be highly scripted and that genuine interactions with citizens wouldn't be possible, since it's illegal for them to speak with foreigners. Still, I'd thought I'd had a unique look at North Korea, only to discover I was wrong.

Adam Johnson

I met my wife in Oxford, fell in love with her, and followed her to New York. I was an illegal there for the first few years, until we got married, so I ended up doing lots of interesting jobs, some for a few days, some for a few months.

Adrian McKinty

I don't use the computer. But my secretary does. I want to take some computer courses because I'm interested in some of the access to some of the illegal things on the Internet. I'm just kidding.

Ahmet Ertegun

Whereas robocalls are ever-present, the problem of contraband cellphones in prisons - that is, cellphones illegally being used by inmates - is generally out-of-sight and too easily ignored. But the need for action is just as clear.

Ajit Pai

When I first started writing for television in the seventies and eighties, the Internet didn't exist, and we didn't need to worry about foreign websites illegally distributing the latest TV shows and blockbuster movies online.

Al Franken

When you loot or behave violently, you give grounds to those that try to justify illegal police abuse. You become the poster child for them to say, 'See, we have no choice but to shoot and kill, or use a chokehold, because just look at the way they behave.'

Al Sharpton

The vast majority of gun owners don't kill, but people who do kill, tend to kill with guns, and often with illegal guns.

Alan Dershowitz

I have the courage of youth, and I'm not afraid of anything. My only enemies are illegality and corruption.

Alessandra Mussolini

Individual children are separated from their parents only when those parents cross the border illegally and are arrested. We can't have children with parents who are in incarceration.

Alex Azar

It is one of the great acts of American generosity and charity, what we are doing for these unaccompanied kids who are smuggled into our country or come across illegally.

Alex Azar

The best advice I have is, actually present yourself at a legal border crossing and make your case. Cross illegally and get arrested, and your children will be given to us. That's the simple fact, I'm afraid.

Alex Azar

I feel like, there's no fair in fighting: you do whatever it takes to win. Obviously, sometimes I cheat to win, but it's not illegal.

Alexa Bliss

Everything I like is either illegal, immoral or fattening.

Alexander Woollcott

All the things I really like to do are either immoral, illegal or fattening.

Alexander Woollcott

We are fighting corruption and all illegal activities and building a culture of transparency and ethical governance.
