"Danielle Citron has become a national advocate against and a leading expert on online stalking and online harassment.
Citron, Lois K. Macht Research Professor and law professor at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law, also has worked with companies, nonprofits, lawmakers and now the attorney general of California on legislating the issue within the confines of the First Amendment.
She also has worked with companies themselves in Silicon Valley on how they can help to curb the use of their platforms to host and spread abusive content.
“The idea is to get the word out,” said Citron, who began writing on the subject seven years ago and published her first book in 2014.
The book — “Hate Crimes in Cyberspace” — was published by Harvard University Press to rave reviews. Cosmopolitan and Harper’s Bazaar nominated her book as one of the top 20 “Best Moments for Women” in 2014."
