Maciej Cegłowski
Maciej Cegłowski was thrust naked into an uncaring world forty years ago and has been doing his best to deal with the situation. He is a developer, businessman, writer, and owner of the bookmarking service Pinboard. He has described programmatically-generated web advertising as a model that encourages the growth of surveillance, and compared large stocks of data on Internet users to the archives of Communist secret police services in his native Eastern Europe. He presently divides his time between making fun of large technology companies on Twitter and writing a series of articles about a recent, crowd-funded trip he took to Antarctica.
