Electronic Frontier Foundation celebrated its 30th anniversary this month by webcasting an hour-long discussion between three of its founders. The discussion was moderated by EFF Executive Director Cindy Cohn (who has also been the group’s legal director and general counsel for 15 years). Cohn began by recalling the early support EFF received from Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who she said “recently affirmed to us how proud he was of that early support, and how important it was going to be to have EFF strong and in the corner of the tinkerers and the modders and the repairers, especially as we head deeper into the digital age.”

Kapor began his appearance by acknowledging that the spirit of the late John Perry Barlow, one of EFF’s original founders, which loomed heavily over this entire event — and asked for a moment to just add how much he missed him, “and how utterly instrumental he was in EFF.”

And this led him to a spontaneous moment of reflection about the early days of EFF that tied it all together.
