And, yes, this starts as a shameless plug for my proposed panel Sexual Privacy Online. My description reads:
Can anyone really be sexually anonymous online? How private is your sexual privacy? Outed “anonymous” sex bloggers, porn laws resulting in performers being stalked; Google’s history logs tracking all of us, paying for adult goods and services online safely: blogging, online forms, Craigslist personals (i.e. the “Craigslist Experiment”), comments, email, etc. Internet sexual privacy affects everyone.
Link.
If the panel gets selected (with enough votes), I have a stunning lineup: a well-known cyberlawyer, a hacker, a respected internet-sexuality author, and I’m in negotiation with a famous (now outed) “anonymous” sex blogger — in addition to a possible investigator for the DoJ. If the panel is selected, I’ll be moderating.
