Cindy Cohn is the executive Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, or EFF. If you’re an internet user of a certain age like me, you know the EFF as the premiere civil liberties group for the internet. The EFF has fought pitched battles against things like government surveillance, digital rights management for music and movies, and government speech regulations that would violate the First Amendment. These fights were important, and shaped the internet as we know it today.LinksElectronic Frontier FoundationHow to fix the Internet: Podcast by the EFFHow the EU is fighting tech giants with Margrethe VestagerApple pushes back on iPhone order, says FBI is seeking ‘dangerous power'Here’s why Apple’s new child safety features are so controversialViacom vs YouTubeTexas passes law that bans kicking people off social media based on ‘viewpoint’Santa Clara PrinciplesCarterfoneDecoder interview with YouTube chief product officer Neal MohanComputer Fraud and Abuse ActFacebook v.
