Title: EFF's Rainey Reitman To Present At Bitcoin Conference 2013
Post by: matonis on February 12, 2013, 08:42:39 AM
Rainey Reitman leads the activism team at the Electronic Frontier Foundation and she'll be talking about financial censorship (May 17-19th). She is particularly interested in the intersection between personal privacy and technology, particularly social networking privacy, locational privacy, and online data brokers.

Also, just so this thread doesn't degrade into a "EFF should accept bitcoin" thread, the stated EFF position is that if they spend time and resources defending themselves, then it becomes difficult for them to do their jobs defending others. Although Bitcoin is not illegal, their goal for better or worse is not to make themselves the subject of a controversy.

Great news.

Now, when you have a minute, write an article about how amazon coins are just a gift card while Bitcoin is a currency, will you?
