Ad| New age verification laws are moving fast, and most people have no idea. Some states already require age verification to use social media. More states are next and Congress wants to take it nationwide. Here’s what’s actually happening, who it affects, and what you can do. @efforg #effpartner #onlineprivacy #dataprivacy #ageverification #digitalrights

👂 Long before we worried our phones were listening, there was THE EAR.

Banned for decades for its chilling depiction of state surveillance, Karel Kachyňa’s 1970 THE EAR opens BLEAK WEEK: CINEMA OF DESPAIR at The Roxie on June 5 in a new 4K restoration.

Over the course of one sleepless night, a government official and his wife spiral into paranoia, suspicion, and darkly funny marital unraveling as they begin to suspect “the ear” of the regime is listening to their every word.

Co-presented by @efforg (Electronic Frontier Foundation) with a brief intro connecting the film’s themes of surveillance and privacy to today.

Join us to experience one of cinema’s great political nightmares together on the big screen.

Part of Bleak Week: Cinema of Despair, a global series presented in partnership with the @am_cinematheque

From encryption battles to the hidden cost of convenience, Cindy Cohn’s PRIVACY’S DEFENDER pulls back the curtain on the systems shaping our digital lives. 🔐💻 In this conversation, she explores surveillance, autonomy, internet power structures, and why privacy is less about secrecy and more about protecting the freedom to simply exist online without constantly being watched.

The online landscape looks markedly different than it did fifteen years ago. Back then, social media was still new and largely free from legal restrictions.

When those early restrictions began, as crude as they were, they marked the start of a rapid evolution in online censorship. Read the full blog, part 2 of a 5-part series, at the link in our bio.
