Having Cindy as a mentor, colleague, and friend for the past two decades has been a privilege and a pleasure. I'm glad she's staying in the fight -- now more than ever the internet needs her excellent mind, instincts, and heart. And selfishly, it means we can stay partners in making good trouble.
After 25 years at EFF, Cindy Cohn is stepping down as executive director. In a WIRED interview, she reflects on encryption, AI, and why she’s not ready to quit the battle.

Further evidence of DOGE success in improving the IRS: I got a letter saying I'm owed a significant amount of money (not fake, I checked) but I have to call to get it. Can't do online, have to talk to an agent. Have now been on hold twice for more than an hour without getting through.

It's really shocking, disturbing, & disappointing how little attention SCOTUS gives to the 1st Amendment rights of the millions of Americans who have chosen to use TikTok under its current editorial policy and features to speak with each other and the world & get information. Hardly an afterthought.
