Lisa Femia, Staff Attorney on the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s civil liberties team, is this week’s guest on Adult Site Broker Talk. Lisa’s work focuses on surveillance, privacy, free speech, and the impact of technology on civil rights and civil liberties. She has done substantial work challenging age verification laws across the U.S.

Lisa’s work at Hogan Lovells US LLP included a strong pro bono focus on democracy reform, criminal justice, and civil rights before she transitioned to EFF. Previously, she worked as a clinic student and post-graduate intern at the Brennan Center for Justice, tackling privacy and government surveillance issues. As an NYU International Law and Human Rights Fellow, she promoted press freedom and media rights in Kampala, Uganda. Before attending law school, she managed government relations for a national nonprofit in Washington, D.C. Lisa earned her J.D. from New York University School of Law and a bachelor’s degree from Princeton University.

Since its founding in 1990, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has been a leading advocate for digital rights. The nonprofit organization fights for user privacy, free expression, and innovation through strategic litigation, policy work, grassroots efforts, and technological development. EFF’s goal is to ensure technology is used to promote justice, freedom, and progress.

EFF has played a pivotal role in protecting digital privacy and free speech, particularly in its opposition to age verification laws that burden internet users. In 2024, EFF took a stand against these regulations in California, New York, Texas, and Mississippi and plans to continue its advocacy in 2025, including challenges in Florida. The organization is also engaged in the fight against the federal Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA).
