Does Privacy Even Exist Anymore In America?
For the average American, privacy doesn't mean a thing -- until it must.
In a world where technology enables us to quickly update anyone and everyone about the minutiae of our lives, sometimes the concept of privacy takes a back seat to tastefully filtered Instagram photos of artisanal delicacies from the exclusive restaurant you tweeted about to your 15,000 followers while you checked in on Facebook to let everyone know where you were. We happily share every single detail about our existences, without any regard for who may be reading, listening, or watching us.
For the average American, privacy doesn’t mean a thing — until it must.
No matter how carefully you try to curate your online presence, something vile may be written about you or an embarrassing photo you’ve tried to banish from the internet may reappear. No matter how secretive you are about your passwords, someone will inevitably hack your devices. No matter how well you think you’ve protected your clients’ confidentiality, something will be leaked.

If you’re interested in learning how to navigate the ins and outs of privacy in a tech-dependent landscape, you should attend Above the Law’s Converge conference, where I will moderate a panel on online reputation, privacy, and the law.
Our conversation will feature the following distinguished panelists:
- Kashmir Hill: Senior Editor, Fusion
- Michael Gottlieb: Partner, Boies Schiller & Flexner LLP
- Leeza Garber: Corporate Counsel & Director of Business Development, Capsicum Group LLC

This panel will serve as an exploration of the intersection of law and policy issues relating to online reputation, information privacy, client confidentiality, cybersecurity, and other related topics, with a special emphasis on recent jurisprudence such the Google “right to be forgotten” case.
