About the book

Throughout her career, Cindy Cohn has been driven by a fundamental question: Can we still have private conversations if we live our lives online? Privacy’s Defender chronicles her thirty-year battle to protect our right to digital privacy and shows just how central this right is to all our other rights, including our ability to organize and make change in the world.

Shattering the hypermasculine myth that our digital reality was solely the work of a handful of charismatic tech founders, the author weaves her own personal story with the history of Crypto Wars, FBI gag orders, and the post-9/11 surveillance state. She describes how she became a seasoned leader in the early digital rights movement, as well as how this work serendipitously helped her discover her birth parents and find her life partner. Along the way, she also details the development of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which she grew from a ragtag group of lawyers and hackers into one of the most powerful digital rights organizations in the world.

Part memoir and part legal history for the general reader, the book is a compelling testament to just how hard-won the privacy rights we now enjoy as tech users are, but also how crucial these rights are in our efforts to combat authoritarianism, grow democracy, and strengthen other human rights. Learn about the Privacy's Defender book tour.

「偽りの改善と規制の死滅」現在、東電柏崎刈羽原発で起きていることを一言で表すならばこうなる。柏崎刈羽原発における「秘密文書の不適切管理」の発覚は、かつて日本中に衝撃を与えた同じ東電による核物質防護不備の再来である。しかし、当時の原子力規制委員会が下した「赤(最悪)」判定という厳しい姿勢は見る影もなく、今回は「白」といった軽微な評価として再稼働を優先させている。この変節は、規制当局自らが安全の砦を放棄したことを意味する。

在留資格を持たない外国人の送還を進める政府の「不法滞在者ゼロプラン」をめぐり、長年日本で生活してきたスリランカ国籍の男性が送還の危機に直面しているとして、支援者らが3月2日、参院議員会館（東京都千代田区）で院内集会を開いた。仮放免者の現状や入管行政の課題について、当事者や支援団体、国会議員らが発言した。主催は一般社団法人「反貧困ネットワーク」。支援の対象となっているのは、スリランカ国籍のナビンさん。20年以上日本で生活し、日本人の妻と結婚して約10年になる。難民申請はこれまでに2回却下され、現在は仮放免の状態に置かれているが、政府が掲げる「不法滞在者ゼロプラン」のもとで送還の危機に直面しているという。（岩中健介）
