"Cindy Cohn's memoir, Privacy's Defender, traces the history of three significant EFF lawsuits that established baselines for online privacy and translated complex technical concepts for judges."
"The rise of aggressive ICE operations has galvanized communities to defend online privacy, leading to collective actions against surveillance technologies like Flock cameras."
"Cohn noted that the government's attempts to unmask ICE critics on social media have largely failed, prompting EFF to file lawsuits to protect Americans' rights."
"Cohn suggested that the government's efforts to build a cadre of experts for increased subpoena authority in the name of national security have paved the way for potential abuses."
Cindy Cohn, the new leader of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, emphasizes the resurgence of public interest in government tech abuses. Her memoir, Privacy's Defender, reflects on the evolution of civil rights concerns from government surveillance to Big Tech issues. Recent aggressive actions by ICE have mobilized communities to protect online privacy. EFF has actively filed lawsuits to safeguard Americans' rights to anonymously track and share information about ICE. Cohn's memoir highlights significant EFF lawsuits that established online privacy baselines and critiques government efforts to expand subpoena authority.
