Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is thrilled to return to BSides Las Vegas and delve into policy issues that matter most to the security community. At this interactive session, our panelists will share updates on critical digital rights issues and EFF's ongoing efforts to safeguard privacy, combat surveillance, and advocate for freedom of expression. From discussions on hardware hacking to navigating legal and policy landscapes, we invite attendees to engage in dynamic conversations with our experts. This session isn't about passive lectures; it's about fostering meaningful exchanges on today's most pressing policy issues. We will be joined by EFF’s Staff Attorney Hannah Zhao; Associate Director of Community Organizing Rory Mir; and Director of Engineering Alexis Hancock
