I was notified yesterday that my submission, "Enforcing a Reasonable Expectation of Privacy in Public: Online disclosure and contextual integrity", was accepted to the Windsor Review of Legal and Social Issues' Canadian Law Students' Conference. The paper highlights fault lines between values of government transparency and personal privacy using the examples from the Prop 8 debate in California and the harassment of BNP supporters in the UK. It then argues that violating the contextual integrity of material posted online in such a way as to incite harassment falls within hate crime or human rights legislation and should be prosecuted accordingly, rather than inventing new laws to deal with technology that facilitates this kind of behaviour.
The conference will be held March 15-16 in Windsor, ON, and I am looking forward to presenting my ideas.
