Cindy Cohn joined the Electronic Frontier Foundation to argue cases like Bernstein v. Dept. of Justice, the successful First Amendment challenge to the U.S. export restrictions on cryptography. But she says that she actually spends more time on breastfeeding than any other topic.
“We took an offline problem where women’s protection from abuse was not handled seriously by law enforcement and people in power, and we moved it over into the online world and we’re experiencing the same kind of situation.”
It’s that wide experience, from cryptography and surveillance technologies to breastfeeding and stalking, that makes Cindy an unusual advocate for freedom of speech and privacy on the Internet. And it makes her a particularly interesting person to talk to about women’s freedom of speech and privacy on the Internet, which forms the core of our conversation here.
