In this interview, leading family law expert Professor Douglas NeJaime (Yale Law School) explains how U.S. laws are attempting to catch up to this shift.

As troves of personal data are collected, stored, and used by governments and private companies in today’s digital age, privacy is becoming an increasing concern. Privacy is essentially about setting boundaries to limit the power that information confers on entities, whether public or private, over individuals. Without adequate privacy safeguards, governments have a blank check to interfere in legitimate political exercise. Companies are free to manipulate consumers through “dark patterns” and p...

In part 2 of the interview with cyberlaw Professor Duncan Hollis, Hollis explains the standards proposed to assess whether a cyberattack amounts to a use of force and how states may respond when non-state actors engage in cyber operations. Prof. Hollis then goes on to discuss how states can obfuscate their actions by contracting out the work or by failing to crack down on cybercriminals who target certain nations. Finally, Hollis discusses influence operations and to what extent international la...
