EFF Talks
Privacy's Defenders: How Hackers Helped and Can Do So Again
Hackers have a long history standing up for justice and that history has a lot to teach and inspire the hackers of today as we face a world with 360-degree surveillance that is increasingly marshaled against us by both companies and governments. My talk will tell background and stories from my book, Privacy's Defender, that tells the story of my 30 years working with EFF to try to protect security and privacy in the digital age. Cards on the table: I'm trying to recruit you to join in the fight.
Monday, August 3 @ 11:00 am - Florentine F
Cindy Cohn - Former EFF Executive Director
Ask EFF
Panelists from the EFF Staff will give brief updates on key topics in their expertise before turning it over to BSides attendees to ask their burning questions about policy, advocacy and making the future of tech brighter. It's a dynamic session fostering engaging discussions on digital rights featuring an EFF staff attorney, activist, and public interest technologist.
Tuesday, August 4 @ 2:00 pm - Florentine F
EFF's Rory Mir, Kenyatta Thomas, Alexis Hancock, Haley Pederson, and former EFF Executive Director Cindy Cohn
