What is it about the internet that makes people feel they have the freedom to say criminal, abusive things?

This week, host Jessica Valenti – The Guardian’s most frequently targeted writer – talks about online harassment and what people can do about it.

Valenti speaks with Jamia Wilson, executive director of Women, Action and the Media about resources to combat personal cyber-attacks.

We also hear from Danielle Citron, law professor and author of Hate Crimes in Cyberspace about legal action options, suggestions for reform and initiatives like California Attorney General Kamala Harris’s Cyber Exploitation research hub.
