SUMMARY:Cindy Cohn\, Executive Director of the Electronic Foundation Forum
DESCRIPTION:Drinking Liberally-Redmond is honored to have as our February guest Cindy Cohn\, Executive Director of the Electronic Foundation Forum\, the leader in defending digital privacy\, free speech\, and innovation\, on Tuesday\, February 9\, 2021 at 7:00 pm via Zoom. (Members of the Drinking Liberally-Redmond mailing list will receive the Zoom login instructions a few hours before the event. If you are not on the list\, send a request for a seat to redmond@drinkingliberally.org). \nCindy will be leading us in a conversation to answer the question\, How do we fix the Internet? It’s now painfully obvious that we’re not living in the glorious tech future we all wanted — 5 big companies controlling everything we see and say\, most of which rely on constant and growing surveillance as the business model. That’s bad enough\, but this corporate surveillance feeds into increased government surveillance of our faces\, our movements\, our associations\, and more. How do we get out? And equally important\, what are the false exits we need to avoid. Let’s discuss! \nCindy Cohn is the Executive Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. From 2000-2015 she served as EFF’s Legal Director as well as its General Counsel. In 1993\, EFF asked her to serve as the outside lead attorney in Bernstein v. Dept. of Justice\, the successful First Amendment challenge to the U.S. export restrictions on cryptography. Recently\, Ms. Cohn was named to TheNonProfitTimes 2020 Power & Influence TOP 50 list\, and in 2018\, Forbes included Ms. Cohn as one of America’s Top 50 Women in Tech. \nPlease consider ordering a meal\, to pick up or be delivered\, from our good and loyal friends at Pomegranate Bistro to enjoy Tuesday night. There are many great items on the Pomegranate menu; check it out: https://www.pomegranatebistro.com/restaurant-menus. \nDrinking Liberally – Redmond gives like-minded progressives a place to talk politics. You don’t need to be a policy expert – just come and learn from peers\, trade jokes\, vent in an informal\, friendly environment.
