Original Note:
The tweet makes two false claims. First, Aaron Swartz was born on 08 November, not 26 November. Second, he did not stand trial; thus he was not convicted. Prosecutors were criticized. He apparently took his life on 11 January 2013, prior to the trial. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/the-brilliant-life-and-tragic-death-of-aaron-swartz-177191/ https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/lessig/40347463044 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz
