Lisa Rein on Aaron Swartz, Edward Snowden, Digital privacy, and Electronic Freedom.

Doug McVay interviews writer, teacher, and filmmaker Lisa Rein about Aaron Swartz, Edward Snowden, digital privacy, and electronic freedom. 

Lisa Rein is a film maker currently working on "From DeadDrop to SecureDrop" about the anonymous upload submission platform originally developed by Aaron Swartz and Kevin Poulsen. She is a Co-founder of Aaron Swartz Day (http://www.aaronswartzday.org), a Co-founder of Creative Commons, a lecturer at San Francisco State University's BECA Department, and the Digital Librarian for the Dr. Timothy Leary Futique Trust.
 
Aaron Swartz's commitment to social justice was profound, and defined his life. He was instrumental to the defeat of an Internet censorship bill; he fought for a more democratic, open, and accountable political system; and he helped to create, build, and preserve a dizzying range of scholarly projects that extended the scope and accessibility of human knowledge. He used his prodigious skills as a programmer and technologist not to enrich himself but to make the Internet and the world a fairer, better place. His deeply humane writing touched minds and hearts across generations and continents. He earned the friendship of thousands and the respect and support of millions more.
