Mark Grabowski, who teaches internet law and ethics at Adelphi University, weighed in on several recent issues related to his field, including revenge porn, net neutrality and internet anonymity.
Revenge Porn: In light of the Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna controversy, Grabowski warned in the New York Post that New York state's revenge porn law is woefully inadequate. “It’s endemic of the law lagging behind technology,” he said. Lawmakers “are out of touch with the technological issues people are facing.”
Net Neutrality: Grabowski told VOA News, come fall, your internet service could be throttled, Netflix could be blocked and politically controversial text messages could be censored if the FCC follows through with its all-but-formalized plan to roll back net neutrality regulations. Listen to interview here, beginning at 14:00 mark.
Internet Anonymity: In his column, Grabowski addressed CNN's threat to reveal an anonymous internet user who created a meme attacking them. The meme went viral after being retweeted by President Trump. Grabowski called CNN's response an "Orwellian overreaction." He explained in the Washington Examiner, "A news organization's mission is to report the news, not to thought-police the internet and threaten to make people famous if they make fun of it."
