In this episode, Gregory M. Dickinson, Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Law, discusses his article "The Patterns of Digital Deception," which is published in the Boston College Law Review. Dickinson begins by explaining why it's important to prevent online fraud, but also important to prevent it effectively and efficiently. He observes that many current legislative efforts to prevent online fraud will probably be ineffective, in part because they target technologies that have both fraudulent and non-fraudulent uses, and in part because they will be easy for fraudsters to avoid, He argues that different approaches may be more effective, including encouraging private litigation and targeting regulation to specific bad actors.
