Keeping politicians' hands off the Net & everything else related to technology
I was a little surprised that Cindy Cohn at EFF all but endorsed the Restore Act, although they “remain deeply concerned about its embrace of so-called “blanket warrants.'” I imagine they place a high priority on ensuring their lawsuit against AT&T can go forward, so they’re willing to embrace legislation that’s not egregious in other respects as long as a “get out of jail free” card for AT&T isn’t in the package.
I’ve also got a new roundup of the FISA debate at Ars.
