Cohn, Cindy - Privacy's Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance

A personal chronicle of three key legal privacy battles that have defined the digital age and shaped the internet as we know it. AN ALTERNATIVE HISTORY OF THE INTERNET that shatters the hypermasculine myth that our digital reality was solely the product of the tools and networks created by a handful of charismatic tech founders. A BRILLIANT LAWYER'S FIGHT FOR BASIC RIGHTS, including encryption--without which the modern internet would not be possible-- a fight that required her to confront the U.S. national security state. Cohn's work shows how the right to a private conversation online is worth defending and protects all of us against authoritarian control and surveillance. DIGITAL PRIVACY MORE RELEVANT THAN EVER, as more and more people worry about access to their personal information.
