Over the course of 6 episodes, we’ll consider how current&nbsp;tech policy isn’t working well for users and invite experts to join us in imagining a better future. Hosted by EFF’s Executive Director Cindy Cohn and our Director of Strategy Danny O’Brien, How to Fix the Internet digs into the gritty technical details and the case law surrounding these digital rights topics, while charting a course toward how we can better defend the rights of users.&nbsp;&nbsp;It’s easy to see all the things wrong with the modern Internet, and how the reality of most peoples’ experience online doesn’t align with the dreams of its early creators. How did we go astray and what should we do now? &nbsp;And what would our world look like if we got it right?&nbsp;This podcast mini-series will tackle those questions with regard to six specific&nbsp;topics of concern: the FISA Court, U.S. broadband access, the third-party doctrine, barriers to interoperable technology, law enforcement use of face recognition technology, and digital first sale. In each episode, we are joined by a guest to examine how the current system is failing, consider different possibilities for solutions, and imagine a better future. After all, we can’t build a better world unless we can imagine it.We are launching the podcast with two episodes: , featuring the Cato Institute’s specialist in surveillance legal policy Julian Sanchez; and , featuring Gigi Sohn, one of the nation’s&nbsp;leading advocates for open, affordable, and democratic communications networks. Future episodes will be released on Tuesdays.We’ve also created a hub page for . This page includes links to all of our episodes, ways to subscribe, and detailed show notes. In the show notes, we’ve included all the &nbsp;books mentioned in each podcast, as well as substantial legal resources—including key opinions in the cases we talk about, briefs filed by EFF, bios of our guests, and a full transcript of every episode.&nbsp;You can subscribe to How to Fix the Internet via&nbsp;and&nbsp;through any of the other podcast places.
