Episode: Will the Supreme Court break the Internet?
Danielle Citron discussed her book, noting that judicial decisions regarding Section 230 created conditions that allowed websites to avoid responsibility for user actions and even created incentives not to protect individual privacy. She explained that intimate privacy, which covers boundaries around bodies, health, thoughts, sexual orientation, and close relationships, is a foundational civil right that enables individuals to flourish.
And we're also going to talk about your recent book, The Fight for Privacy.
I mean, talk about how judicial decisions regarding section 230 have created the conditions that allow websites to basically not take any responsibility for their users actions and indeed even create incentives, not to protect the privacy of individuals so
quote civil rights are considered fundamental because they enable us to flourish as whole individuals and active members of society.
But by my lights intimate privacy is a foundational value and it deserves protection as a moral right as a as a human right and as a civil right so intimate privacy refers to the privacy around how we manage the boundaries around our bodies, our health, our innermost thoughts which we frankly document every second we search we browse we share we text we communicate our sexual orientation or gender or sexual activity, and our close relationships and intimate privacy is we all need it to flourish.
