Today the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) announced KEI Director James Love as one of four distinguished winners of the 2013 Pioneer Awards. The annual award recognizes the leaders who are extending freedom and innovation on the electronic frontier. In addition to Love, this year’s fellow honorees are Aaron Swartz, the late digital rights activist, and Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras, the journalists that broke the Edward Snowden/NSA stories.
Previous winners of the EFF Pioneer Awards have included Tim Berners-Lee, the Tor Project, Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, and Mitch Kapor. Love and KEI are honored by his selection for the award and wish to extend thanks to the EFF for the recognition as well as the Foundation’s continued efforts in the expansion of global access to knowledge.
