"Part memoir, part battle cry, "Privacy's Defender" is the story of Cindy's fights alongside the visionaries who looked at the early internet and understood that the legal and political battles over this new technology - the Crypto Wars, the NSA's dragnet, the FBI gag orders - were really over the future of free speech, privacy, and power for all."
Cindy Cohn, Executive Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, released a memoir titled "Privacy's Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance." The book combines personal narrative with advocacy, chronicling Cohn's decades-long efforts alongside internet pioneers to address critical legal and political challenges surrounding emerging technology. These battles encompassed the Crypto Wars, NSA mass surveillance programs, and FBI gag orders—conflicts fundamentally concerning the future of free speech, privacy, and power distribution. Cohn discussed the book in conversation with bestselling author and journalist Cory Doctorow at San Francisco's City Lights Bookstore. The book tour includes stops across major U.S. cities including Seattle, Denver, Boston, and New York City.
