Mark Rumold of the Electronic Frontier Foundation discusses the Freedom of Information Act—its latest triumphs and stumbles and how it connects to the exhibition Chasing Justice. Mark Rumold is a staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), focusing primarily on access to information, government secrecy, and national security issues. As part of EFF’s Transparency Project, Mark regularly represents EFF in cases under the federal Freedom of Information Act. As a result of his transparency work, tens of thousands of pages of previously secret government documents have been made available to the public.
