“No student of color should have to walk up to their bike and see this. I came to Oberlin for an education and I am getting this. There are a group of people on campus trying to put fear in our hearts. They are failing. Little do they know, they are sparking a revolution. They were bothered by a Black presence before? Well, they must not know. The movement has just started, Oberlin. ”
-Kara Mahon (Oberlin College student, class of 2015)

“Japan had a strong recent history of anonymous social networks, like the native network Maxi, and Facebook’s insistence on real names flew in the face of that. In early 2010, Facebook opened a Japanese engineering office to target the Japanese market specifically but, to date, the Network remains relatively unadapted (at 9 percent penetration) compared to other countries worldwide.” — Katherine Losse, The Boy Kings, 2012
