Anil DashYesterday, I got an incredible opportunity to watch Cindy Cohn bring @eff's story to one of its biggest audiences yet, as she did an extraordinary job on the Daily Show, pulling off the unlikely task of making the topic of digital privacy and civil liberties seem fun, engaging and witty. I took the chance to share some reflections — and a couple of behind-the-scenes photos. https://www.anildash.com/2026/03/31/defending-privacy-daily/
Nick Sloan@anildash @eff Jon Stewart often shows the limits of his depth on technology, making for awkward interviews. I don’t mean that to belittle him, I think he has one of the most reliable moral compasses of any public personality.
That said, it was really great to see Cindy draw a clear line between them on a few points. So many people would just drift back to the things they agree on and hand wave the rest. The interview was better for her courage and conviction.
