Minority communities are severely impacted by changes in the data and privacy landscape, yet are not mentioned enough in discussion. Additionally, communities victimized by nonconsensual pornography and other cyber crimes have been underrepresented. Panelists will discuss the current laws and landscape affecting Black and Brown communities, as well as privacy issues affecting women and LGBTQ+ individuals.

The discussion will center around who really owns these art forms and the protection of these art forms by intellectual property law. Panelists will also discuss how the existing legal framework affects marginalized communities.
