On Jan 2 2014 the Legal Hackers NYC meetup hosted a forum Revenge Porn – Hacking Legal Solutions at the Made in NY Media Center in Brooklyn. The issue is specifically the victimization of women via the dissemination of sexually explicit pictures, pictures they never expected the world to see. This disturbing, but not necessarily illegal, phenomenon has been labeled Revenge Porn and is at the crux of the ever-growing tension between free expression and privacy on the Internet. A distinguished panel explored possible solutions to this growing problem (legal, regulatory, technological, and market-based), as well as the challenges in ensuring these solutions are both effective and constitutionally sound. Speakers were: Derek Bambauer – Professor of Law, University of Arizona; Lee Rowland – Staff Attorney, ACLU; Mark Jaffe – Partner, Tor Ekeland, P.C.; Ari Ezra Waldman – Associate Director, Institute for Information Law & Policy, New York Law School; and Jeremy Glickman – Deputy Chief of the Cybercrime and Identity Theft Bureau, New York County. Moderators were David Giller of the Brooklyn Law Incubator & Policy Clinic, and Bianca Bosker, Executive Tech Editor, Huffington Post. Video is sponsored by ISOC-NY.
