Talk of the Bay from KSQD

Cindy Cohn: Privacy’s Defender


Listen Later

Talk of the Bay features an interview with Cindy Cohn. For 26 years she was director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, fighting in court for internet privacy . Her new book Privacy’s Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance, explores today’s surveillance dystopia through the eyes of a lawyer who has been at the legal forefront of fighting it for decades, and who can describe a better path forward. We should all be concerned about privacy right now, as the federal government consolidates and weaponizes data, companies track our every click, and law enforcement, from local cops to ICE keep tabs on all of us, everywhere we go, every day. Cohn’s national book tour will bring her to UC-Santa Cruz on Tuesday, May 19 from 12-2pm
