Is the Law Keeping Up With Technology Or Are We Already Behind?


Listen Later

Is the law doing enough to keep pace with the internet and technology? Attorney and political columnist Bennet Kelley, founder of the Internet Law Center, has seen what happens when tech moves fast but the legal system moves slowly.

In this Ready Living Podcast episode, he talks about a wide range of issues, from the shielding of online platforms from legal liability, the absence of a federal anti-doxing law, and AI research companies’ use of artists' work without their permission, to social media’s impact on children and teenagers.

Underneath it all is the question: just because we can build something, does that mean we should?

He shares the personal experience that shaped why he believes so strongly in standing up against the misuse of power, and why that matters now more than ever.

Bennet’s boutique firm offers legal and policy solutions to entrepreneurial businesses. He's advised the Justice Department on technology-facilitated abuse, and fought for victims of online harassment. He’s also a five time winner of the LA Press Club's Southern California Journalism Award. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from American University, and a Juris Doctor from Georgetown University.
