Electronic Frontier Foundation Founder John Perry Barlow Dead at 70
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Internet pioneer John Perry Barlow has died at the age of 70. Barlow was
co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which advocates for
internet users' privacy and which has battled the Trump administration's
efforts to end landmark "net neutrality" rules designed to keep the
internet free and open. Barlow also wrote lyrics for many songs by the
legendary rock group The Grateful Dead.
