"It seems like everywhere we turn we see dystopian stories about technology's impact on our lives and our futures-from tracking-based surveillance capitalism, to street level government surveillance, to the dominance of a few large platforms choking innovation, to the growing efforts by authoritarian governments to control what we see and say-the landscape can feel bleak. Exposing and articulating these problems is important, but so is envisioning and then building solutions. That's where our podcast comes in."
"We all leave digital trails as we navigate the internet-records of what we searched for, what we bought, who we talked to, where we went or want to go in the real world-and those trails usually are owned by the big corporations behind th e platforms we use. But what if we valued our digital autonomy the way that we do our bodily autonomy?"
EFF's How to Fix the Internet produced a sixth season from May through September focused on tools and technology of freedom. Cindy Cohn and Jason Kelley hosted conversations with leading legal and technical experts about building solutions to surveillance capitalism, government surveillance, platform concentration, and authoritarian content control. Episodes emphasized digital autonomy, exploring how communities and creativity can center people online and offline. Episodes addressed cryptography's post-quantum challenges, noting reliance on hard mathematical problems like factoring primes and discrete logarithms for RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and elliptic-curve security. The season promoted envisioning and building practical defenses for privacy and freedom online.
