CDT 10-year anniversary
More than 650 people are going to gather tonight in Washington to celebrate CDT's last ten years. Legislators, lawyers, friends, lobbyists, visionaries — it will be quite a crowd.
CDT has played a key role. Just this week, they questioned a new state bill that would create ISP blocking obligations, and suggested to the FTC that they sue deceptive download sites. They're at the very center of the spyware debate. They're at the very center of the debate over law enforcement's request to have online applications built to be easily tappable. They're fighting for online privacy legislation. They're writing amicus briefs. They're defending the First Amendment. All with just a few people involved.
Several things set CDT apart from any other policy group I know of. They know what they're talking about, they serve a crucial convening role, and they care about the future of the internet. Bravo to CDT!
