He's in good company:
In addition to Schneier, EFF's Board of Directors includes John Perry Barlow, Brian Behlendorf, John Buckman, Lorrie Cranor, David Farber, John Gilmore, Brewster Kahle, Pam Samuelson, Brad Templeton, and Jonathan Zittrain.
Barlow and Gilmore are the EFF founders, along with Mitch Kapor who hasn't been that active for quite a while.
- snowwrestler 13y agoThe juxtaposition of Zittrain and Schneier caught my eye because I once saw them on opposite sides of a cybersecurity debate. Zittrain sat with former NSA head Mike McConnell and argued that the threat of cyberwar had not been exaggerated. Schneier and another privacy expert argued that it had been exaggerated. The subtext of the argument was the degree to which the national security apparatus should take the lead on U.S. cybersecurity, vs. domestic agencies like DHS or law enforcement like the FBI. Schneier argued that the "threat" of cyberwar was being pumped up by the defense agencies and industries to help justify greater power and contracts.
