Survivor speaks out after $2 million sexual abuse settlement against former AHS band teacher - thedailyworld.com/news/survivor-…
I'm so emotional to read about my former band teacher finally being held accountable. Everybody knew he was having a relationship with this student. He didn't hide it. They'd drive around in his red Mazda Miata convertible.
And everybody shamed her. I was in junior high at the time. On days he didn't feel like teaching, he'd have us watch musicals where the main character was named Maria, just like this student. Sound of Music, Westside Story. We all would laugh about that b/c we knew he was in
love with her. The whole town knew. And just thought she was a slut with bad taste in men -- he wore bolo ties and pointy alligator shoes.

I have some new trolls who love to tell me that I've built a business off victims' pain.

Do these people know how f*cking idiotic they sound? At our firm we STOP victims' pain.
Funny that my male friends who are personal injury lawyers never experience this trolling. The trolls fixate on us b/c we're a women led firm serving a type of person (victims of sexual assault and intimate partner violence) who a-holes don't want to have using our
justice system. I'm not looking for pity about the trolls. They're just mosquitos. I AM looking for the normalizing of victims suing predators, tech companies, schools, and other institutions that can be held liable or vicariously liable for harms.

I'm a victims rights lawyer. For every 1 case involving a rape tape on Pornhub, I have 50 involving rape and CSAM being disseminated on Insta and FB. Pornhub is far from perfect. But mainstream big tech is far worse and have a built-in mechanism for harassing victims directly.
So, yes, let's pressure Pornhub to clean up. And give victims the right to sue them. But don't blind yourself to the issue that the social media companies you use everyday are FAR worse even though they don't have "porn" in their title.
And in addition to fb and IG, You know how a lot of csam and child rape vids gets streamed? FB and Skype and more recently, Zoom. Stored and shared? Dropbox and Amazon servers. Solicited? Discord, Kik

Good piece by @suehalpernVT in @NewYorker about 230.

I use some profanity to discuss @ grindrs response to Herrick's enormous efforts to get help. Over a thousand strangers came IN PERSON for sex. This was not a content-based suit 1/
newyorker.com/tech/annals-of… via @NewYorker
The issue was not the words in the profiles. It's that the profiles kept coming up, offender was using geolocation and chat to direct them to Grindr, and Grindr didn't have the technology or controls to stop that predictable problem. 2/
Lately Grindr has been responding to articles about Herrick and listing these magnificent efforts they were making to help. Well, it didn't ACTUALLY help. So who cares. But also, they didn't tell us that. And the strangers kept showing up. 3/

Dir of International Freedom of Expression at @EFF is looking for help on how to admit that online harassment is real.

Victims, got any ideas?
Here’s an idea: an apology on the @EFF website to victims who you all treat as the sacrificial lambs of free speech
My crystal ball says @Eff will pay its penance by building out a hot lil dep't dedicated to tackling the novel new problem of online harassment and hate speech. Handily it will score lots of @WIRED profiles and internet hero awards and attract big tech money, diverting more

@TaylorLorenz asks the $1m question: Who's "responsible" for online mob harms.

So, responsibility: there's legal responsibility and there's moral responsibility.

And not just the creator & the platform. Also, there's the responsibility of audience/users too!
1/
Let's look at legal responsibility first.

1. Audience members:
People who harass and threaten are always legally responsible for their own conduct. They can be sued for defamation or harassment. Or even arrested. BUT racism isn't illegal and is often protected speech. 2/
Plus, harassment requires a course of conduct directly to another person. So if you have 100k people saying or doing one hostile act, none of them are harassing, though the victim's experience is one of harassment.

2. The Creator
If they are inciting their audience to harass 3/

Judge Esther Salas is the first Latina federal judge in all of NJ.

She's a star -- in 2018 she blocked ICE from deporting Indonesian immigrants and she's presiding over the prosecuting of Deutsche Bank for accommodating bad customers like Epstein. 1/
But don't indulge in conspiracy theories. She was destroyed -- her son murdered and husband shot -- by a man who hates women. By a man who calls our most basic law to not be violent toward women, VAWA, the "Female Fraud Act." He's sued Columbia for having Women's Studies 2/
courses and bars for "women's nights." He has said about the men's movement that "there is one remaining source of power in which men still have a near monopoly -- firearms."

He has an encyclopedia on the web w/ entries such as "female parasites" "feminazi or fear fascist" 3/
