@jonah @privacyguides I almost laughed the way she said "I like to win."

"What keeps you motivated?" "Well winning is pretty freakin sweet." Yeah, touche. Can't argue with that. ๐Ÿ˜‚

@privacyguides "'the real victory is the friends we made along the way,' I don't subscribe to that. We need to win" ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ’ฏ

I'm so excited to share this with you all! It was such a great day and a highlight of my career as a privacy educator/advocate ๐Ÿ˜

In one hour, catch our interview with Cindy Cohn, EFF's outgoing Executive Director and prolific civil liberties attorney in the fight for digital rights.

Her first major case with the EFF, Bernstein v. United States, established the "right to code" and dismantled the USA's unconstitutional ban on encryption exports, paving the way for people to develop technologies like PGP and other strong encryption tools without having to register as an "arms dealer" and face government restrictions on publishing their ideas.

In her career since she's represented many historic cases: suing AT&T for secretly collaborating with the NSA (Hepting v. AT&T), Sony for installing malware DRM, a vote machine company abusing copyright law to silence criticism, the DVD Copy Control Association attacking freedom of speech, and many other fights against the NSA and for internet freedom.

Cohn has been with @eff for over 30 years, and succeeded Shari Steele to become EFF's Executive Director in 2015. Our interview discusses her works and legacy, the origins of the EFF, and the still-ongoing fight for privacy and digital liberties ๐Ÿ’ช
