Unintended Consequences of the Information Age

A Colloquium series that explores controversial issues emerging from our “point and Click” world

At Odds: Victims Rights vs. Free Speech

Moderated by Ross Reynolds of KUOW’s “The Conversation”
Opening remarks by Rob McKenna, Washington State Attorney General

Privacy and anonymity are not the same thing—particularly when it comes to the internet. But these two issues are becoming indistinguishable in the muddy crossroads where anonymous speech and free speech intermingle.

Join us for a fascinating discussion of how two tenets of the American consciousness—laissez-faire economics and the first amendment—collide with the reality of an online world of harassment and stalking.
