A New World Beginning to Emerge: Danny of EFF @ #Freebassel Day SF 2013; Pt.1
Channel: Letters for Bassel
Date: 2013-10-14

Danny O'Brien, international director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (eff.org/) discusses his work protecting and defending journalists and free culture advocates. As Bassel's case attests, these fields have recently begun to merge as access to technology and access to information increase their dependence on one another. However, organizations dedicated to protecting technologists and free culture advocates in the same manner as reporters and journalists are not as commonplace.

This interview took place at the #Freebassel Day 2013 event organized by Wikimedia Foundation, Electronic Frontier Foundation, and Creative Commons in San Francisco in March 2013.
