505 0  Digital hate -- How the Internet's virtues fuel its vices 
       -- The problem of social attitudes -- Civil rights 
       movements, past and present -- What law can and should do 
       now -- Updating the law: the harassers -- Legal reform for
       site operators and employers -- "Don't break the Internet"
       and other free speech challenges -- Silicon valley, 
       parents, and schools. 
520    The author examines the controversies surrounding cyber-
       harassment, arguing that it should be considered a matter 
       for civil rights law and that social norms of decency and 
       civility must be leveraged to stop it. --Publisher 
       information. 
520    In an in-depth investigation of a problem that is too 
       often trivialized by lawmakers and the media, Citron 
       exposes the startling extent of personal cyber-attacks and
       proposes practical, lawful ways to prevent and punish 
       online harassment. She reveals the serious emotional, 
       professional, and financial harms incurred by victims. 
       Persistent online attacks disproportionately target women 
       and frequently include detailed fantasies of rape as well 
       as reputation-ruining lies and sexually explicit 
       photographs. 
520    "Most Internet users are familiar with trolling--
       aggressive, foul-mouthed posts designed to elicit angry 
       responses in a site's comments. Less familiar but far more
       serious is the way some use networked technologies to 
       target real people, subjecting them, by name and address, 
       to vicious, often terrifying, online abuse. In an in-depth
       investigation of a problem that is too often trivialized 
       by lawmakers and the media, Danielle Keats Citron exposes 
       the startling extent of personal cyber-attacks and 
       proposes practical, lawful ways to prevent and punish 
       online harassment. A refutation of those who claim that 
       these attacks are legal, or at least impossible to stop, 
       Hate Crimes in Cyberspace reveals the serious emotional, 
       professional, and financial harms incurred by victims. 
       Persistent online attacks disproportionately target women 
       and frequently include detailed fantasies of rape as well 
       as reputation-ruining lies and sexually explicit 
       photographs. And if dealing with a single attacker's 
       "revenge porn" were not enough, harassing posts that make 
       their way onto social media sites often feed on one 
       another, turning lone instigators into cyber-mobs. Hate 
       Crimes in Cyberspace rejects the view of the Internet as 
       an anarchic Wild West, where those who venture online must
       be thick-skinned enough to endure all manner of verbal 
       assault in the name of free speech protection, no matter 
       how distasteful or abusive. Cyber-harassment is a matter 
       of civil rights law, Citron contends, and legal precedents
       as well as social norms of decency and civility must be 
       leveraged to stop it."--Publisher's description.
