The only question yet to be resolved is, “What has Mr. McKean been
smoking?”)

Segment Two- The Electronic Frontier
Foundation
Tonight we are joined by Seth David Schoen
Staff Technologist of The Electronic Frontier
Foundation.
If America’s founding fathers had anticipated the digital
frontier, there would be a clause in the Constitution protecting
your rights online, as well. Instead, a modern group of freedom
fighters was necessary to extend the original vision into the
digital world. That’s where the Electronic Frontier Foundation
comes in.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation is the leading civil
liberties organization working to protect rights in the digital
world. Founded in 1990, EFF actively encourages and challenges
industry and government to support free expression and privacy
online. EFF is a member-supported organization and maintains one of
the most linked-to websites in the world at http://www.eff.org/
Seth Schoen is one of the lead developers of the LNX-BBC rescue
system(formerly the Linuxcare Bootable Business Card). He worked as
a Senior Linux Consultant at Linuxcare for two years; he has also
been an intern at Toronto Dominion Bank and at the Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory. His long-time interest in civil
liberties led him to his current position as Staff Technologist at
the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a non-profit organization based
in San Francisco. He has been active in the Bay Area free software
community since he moved to the Bay Area in 1997 from
Massachusetts.
