Electronic Frontier Foundation to swap leaders as AI, ICE fights escalate

Cindy Cohn, longtime executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, is stepping down as the organization faces escalating battles over AI and immigration enforcement. Her memoir, Privacy's Defender, traces EFF's history of landmark privacy lawsuits and has gained renewed relevance as the Trump administration openly leverages Big Tech surveillance tools to support ICE operations and unmask critics. EFF has filed lawsuits to protect Americans' rights to anonymously track and share information about ICE activity online.
