Brings back memories. I'm the Daniel Weitzner mentioned by Eben Moglen. The debate was actually billed as a being about the future of privacy in the digital age. The moderator was Arthur Miller, a truly distinguished law professor at Harvard who wrote about privacy in the 1970s. Despite the broad focus on privacy in the title, the discussion ended up being all about encryption technology and policy. After 45 minutes or so of arguing about encryption, key escrow and the Clipper Chip, Arthur said in his trademark stentorian voice, "This was supposed to be a debate about privacy and all I've heard about is ENCRYPTION!" Despite this, we continued to talk about nothing but cryptography, as if its availability or lack thereof was the only question that mattered for privacy. The Dept of Justice official referred to was Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick, who is now a partner at a big DC law firm WilmerHale, where she represents Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
