Reviews

Cyberbullying, sexting, and revenge pornography have strained robust free speech principles in the United States and elsewhere. Arthur S. Hayes provides an important resource for understanding the challenges the dark underbelly of Internet communications have presented to courts and legislators, detailing how well-intentioned policymakers may have overreached in their efforts to protect victims in ways that threaten speech that is legitimate, and in some cases, valuable. Rich details of cases and controversies arising in the past decade illustrate the difficult tradeoffs in emergent online speech jurisprudence. Daxton Stewart, Associate Dean and Associate Professor, Texas Christian University; Editor of <> (2013)
