Interview with EFF Executive Director Cindy Cohn

Privacy in the United States is very lax—or, in other words, weak. I know many people and am aware of what governments that have been in power are capable of; however, current privacy tools are quite limited, and it’s difficult to remain hidden when you’re inside these countries… AI continues to be developed with better capabilities, and Mullvad, for example, offers a certain level of protection against these AI models. Therefore, more determination, focus, and urgency are needed to stay one step ahead of mass surveillance. Without adequate protection, there is no privacy (or at least not much) in the United States. Even if the constitution and laws are amended for the better, will surveillance and data collection continue regardless?
