Episode 3: Kurt Opsahl of Filecoin & EFF on privacy law & why people are still willing to pay for privacy

Abstract

Kurt Opsahl is the Associate General Counsel for Cybersecurity and Civil Liberties at Filecoin Foundation, and previously served as Deputy Executive Director and General Counsel at Electronic Frontier Foundation for almost 20 years. EFF is a sought-after source for deeply thought-through, detailed, and often lacerating research and advocacy on all things digital privacy, free speech, and technological innovation. As a lawyer, Kurt offers a perspective on privacy rooted in Constitutional and case law, a side of privacy we haven’t explored yet on the podcast. And having watched the intersection of law and technology evolve for well over twenty years, there's no one better to speak to these issues than Kurt.
