Managing Users' Rights Responsibly – A Guide For Early-Stage Companies

I'll be speaking this morning at RightsCon regarding a new guide for early-stage technology companies seeking to operate with respect for users' rights to freedom of expression and privacy.

I have worked to develop the guide with Vivek Krishnamurthy and Dalia Ritvo, friends and colleagues at the Cyberlaw Clinic, which is based at Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet & Society.

We developed the guide to provide a succinct overview of the challenges that companies may face when third parties, particularly law enforcement officials, seek to access or suppress information relating to users. With a focus on U.S. legal requirements, the guide outlines practical steps that companies can take to address those challenges and provides suggested resources for further information and guidance.
