AUTHOR

Sandra Day O’Connor Professor of Law and Professor of Government, College of
William & Mary. This paper is an outgrowth both of conversations with Caitlin Borgmann and of
remarks I made at the June 2015 Privacy Discussion Forum organized by Russ Weaver and

and thanks to my research assistants Caitlin Carter, Andrew DeVore, Phil Giammona, and Russ Terman.
