This webinar focused on themes from Danielle Citron’s new book, The Fight for Privacy: online harassment and hate, Section 230, and how privacy invasions disproportionately are targeted at women. We also discussed the implications of Dobbs, where the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the right to abortion. As Elizabeth Joh points out in a recent article, world post-Dobbs is very different from the world pre-Roe. We are living in a surveillance society, and the government has unprecedented powers to monitor people’s intimate lives.
