Assistant Professor Suzie Dunn, acting director of the law school's Law and Technology Institute (LATI), will be featured as a discussant.

мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ö±²¥ the Book:

The ubiquity of streaming sites such as Pornhub has transformed the social role of sexually explicit content today. Online porn is no longer a shady corner of the internet; it is mainstream. Its production, commodification, and consumption on data-driven online platforms has changed â€“ and is changing â€“ our personal relationships, social and legal systems, and sexual norms.

Without demonizing pornography or its consumption, Dr. Craig makes a powerful argument for applying legal mechanisms to corporate-owned online platforms while offering a sober evaluation of the limits of the law in governing pervasive cultural norms and social understandings of sexuality.
