Cindy Cohn - Fighting for Digital Human Rights in “Privacy’s Defender” | The Daily Show

Attorney Cindy Cohn talks to Jon Stewart about her new book, “Privacy’s Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance,” and her work as executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which is the world’s biggest and oldest digital rights organization. She recounts the fight against sweeping government surveillance after 9/11, her reservations about internet regulations backfiring if placed in the wrong hands, and why the solution to these problems is a combination of comprehensive privacy law, revised business models of giant tech companies who make money off of user data, and more platform choices for individuals. “A world where there are five big media companies that decide everything that we see and how we see it… the answer isn’t to try to take a dictator and make them a better dictator. The answer is to get rid of the dictators and make them less important.” #DailyShow #CindyCohn #Privacy #Internet Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.
