Just last March at SXSW: Interactive I organized and hosted the very popular (and totally fascinating and intense) Sexual Privacy Online panel. Today, SXSW let me know that the MP3 is now available. It’s a little over an hour long and includes audience questions — this is an MP3 you really don’t want to miss. It’s the most poignant and relevant discussion about sexual privacy in the digital era you’ll ever hear. Trust me.
With permission from SXSW, I just podcasted the audio file in Open Source Sex, but there are a couple ways you can listen in:
* Here is a direct link to the Open Source Sex (Sexual Privacy Online #64) MP3 file, with my intro.
* Here is the post, with description and MP3 link.
* Here is the South By Southwest (SXSW) Interactive post with their MP3.
My description is as follows:
The most amazing sexual privacy online discussion you’ll ever hear. This is the panel I organized and moderated at SXSW: Interactive 2008, including a cyberlawyer (Jason Schultz, EFF), a security expert / hacker (Jonathan Moore, 0x0000), an outed sex blogger (Zoe Margolis, Girl With A One Track Mind), and a Gawker Media editor (John d’Addario, Fleshbot.com). It’s just over an hour long, and it’s riveting! Thanks to SXSW for letting me share the file with you. Here’s the description:
Can anyone really be sexually anonymous online? Being outed, thinking you’re “anonymous”, trolls and stalkers taking advantage of online communities, porn laws resulting in performers being stalked, Google’s history logs tracking all of us, and paying for adult goods and services online safely: Internet sexual privacy affects everyone – and our rights. This panel brings together a spectrum of views on sexual privacy and identity, including controversial sex bloggers, a cyberlaw expert and a hacker who works for a social networking site. We’ll discuss and demonstrate how easy it is to lose control of your sexual identity online – and how to get it back, or keep it intact in the first place. You don’t have to be a sex blogger, answer the wrong Craigslist ad, or order a vibrator online to have your sexual identity messed with – sometimes all you need to be is female, LGBT, or just make a simple mistake when you hit “send”. The consequences can be devastating. We will explore what obstacles face maintaining personal privacy, including bad or unsympathetic online community management, system and social exploits (like Craigslist baiting and outing), stalkers and trolls, the legal aspects of sexual privacy online and their application for individuals, and what you can do to keep your sexual privacy, private.
What was the site that featured seatbelt/pursestrap between breasts pictures? I’ve always found that more erotic than I probably should, I didn’t know there was any kind of culture for it. I’m midway through the talk and enjoying it thoroughly. Thanks for your good work.
