5.0 out of 5 starsA book that asks if the Internet brings out the worst in us. And creates a legal framework to deal with it.
By Ben Rothke on October 14, 2014
Format: Hardcover
It’s said that criminal lawyers see bad people at their best, and divorce lawyers see good people at their worst. At times, the Internet seems to bring out the bad in all types of people.

In Hate Crimes in Cyberspace, a fascinating book just out, author Danielle Keats Citron details many incidents where unsuspecting and ordinary people suddenly found themselves under direct attack in the form of hateful emails, threats, prank calls, online bullying and more.

The irony is that in the cases she details, the victims were not the dregs of society or criminals, rather tech bloggers, law students and the like.

Citron notes a few times that in the early days of sexual harassment in the workplace, the common wisdom was that the victim was told that they should simply deal with it and go on with their lives. The current environment doesn’t blame the victim and every firm now has policies and programs to deal with workplace sexual harassment.

She writes that to a large part, law enforcement and the media has taken the approach that today’s victims of internet trolls should use the sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me approach. But that gives little solace to victims of internet trolls who are living their lives in fear due to the many threats against them; from malicious impersonation, proxy stalking, rape and death threats and more.

The book deals with the question of if there is something about the Internet that fuels destructive cyber mobs and individual harassers. She asks if the Internet brings out the worst in us, and why.

She writes that women are more often the victims of cyber harassment then men.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsFascinating Account of a Terrible Problem
By Frank on September 10, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Extraordinarily important book. It gets to the heart of very difficult conflicts between free speech and privacy, and sets an agenda for civil rights in the digital era. It is also a compelling read--once you dive in, you won't stop, as Citron is such a great storyteller.

5.0 out of 5 starsEngaging and insightful
By Haley P. on February 16, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This was a very interesting read. I was assigned this for a class project but ended up enjoying it immensely. The author keeps you engaged and provides tons of examples throughout about how hate crimes in cyberspace can turn into hate crimes in real life.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Great Book!
By Scott L DuBois on March 18, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This was a great book! Informative and eye opening examples of the maliciousness that plagues our current society. Excellent and educated examples of how many atrocities can be rectified with enough caring persons banding together to take a stand against hate crimes.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Must-Read
By Neil Richards on September 26, 2014
Format: Hardcover
In this beautifully-written book, Danielle Citron explains how hate continues to be a problem on the Internet, and how we should respond. Its clear prose and sensible argument make this one of the most important books about the Internet written this decade.

By simone on October 28, 2014
Format: Hardcover
The author makes a rock solid case. She argues that we need new legislation to stop some of the most dangerous forms of online harassment. She clearly describes how this can be done without tossing out free speech. This book is rigorous (almost every statement she makes is supported with a reference) and the victims' stories are terrifying.

4.0 out of 5 starsThe entirety of the book is an argument to change the law but it's good at meeting that objective
By Shaq Katikala on March 8, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I bought this for a high-level overview of the current remedies available to victims of online harassment. The very few cases in the book were presented to illustrate holes in the law instead of to describe the law in-depth as it exists today. Since the author is a law professor, I expected the book to be a bit more objective and descriptive in the case law. The entirety of the book is an argument to change the law but it's good at meeting that objective, so I give it 4 stars.
