Our podcast, How To Fix The Internet, is back! In this season’s premiere, researcher and hacker Andrew “bunnie” Huang speaks with EFF's Cindy Cohn and Jason Kelley about how we can have it all – from better phones to cooler drones, from handy medical devices to fun Star Wars fan gadgets – if we’re willing to share ideas and trade short-term profit for long-term advancement.
