Danielle Citron Tell Us The Truth

Episode 69: Online Privacy Civil Rights

Should your Online Privacy be a Civil Right? Legal expert and UVA scholar Danielle Citron believes so, and in her new book The Fight For Privacy: Protecting Dignity, Identity and Love in the Digital Age, Danielle explains why in detail. Did you know there are States that don't have Revenge Porn laws? Imagine someone gains possession of an intimate photo of your or a loved one and shares it with the world without legal repercussions. This is a very REAL issue facing people every single day around the World and especially here in the United States. Listen as Danielle sounds the alarm about the failure of the legal system to protect the privacy afforded our intimate lives, explains what will happen if Congress fails to pass laws that address our vulnerability and more. As she notes, “when the state exploits your intimate communications and relationships, it legitimizes the view that intimate life can be violated with impunity.”
