  • Of Facebook in Myanmar: a Case for Corporate Criminal Liability
    The “Weaponization” of Facebook in Myanmar: A Case for Corporate Criminal Liability † NERIAH YUE The advent of social media platforms in the mid-2000s increased global communication and encouraged innovative activism by ushering new, effective ways to organize and protest. News agencies have recently reported the misuse of these platforms by individual actors and authoritarian regimes. Autocrats, in particular, twist social media platforms into weapons to silence dissent and spread hate speech. The latter category, hate speech, has contributed to some of the gravest human rights abuses globally. The increased spotlight on the weaponization of social media has motivated scholars, states, and companies to revisit the theory of corporate responsibility. This Note unpacks the potential criminal liability of social media companies for misuse on their platforms that result in grave human rights violations. Specifically, it explores Facebook’s corporate criminal liability in light of authoritarian regimes’ misuse of its platform to incite crimes against humanity. This Note will not cover jurisdictional issues regarding corporate criminal liability. Rather, it identifies on a theoretical level, which crimes, if any, social media corporations could be held accountable for under international criminal law. While there remain significant obstacles to prosecuting such cases, this Note identifies an accountability gap between Facebook’s actions and victims of human rights abuses that occur from its platform. Ultimately, this Note concludes that corporate criminal liability is an effective form of ensuring that social media companies remain responsible in doing their part to uphold human rights. † J.D. Candidate 2020, University of California, Hastings College of the Law; Executive Managing Editor, Hastings Law Journal.

  • Sarahah Is a Messaging Application Launched in November 2016 by Saudi Developer Zain Al- Abidin Tawfiq
    NATIONAL WHITE COLLAR CRIME CENTER Background Sarahah is a messaging application launched in November 2016 by Saudi developer Zain al- Abidin Tawfiq. The word “Sarahah” is the pronunciation of the Arabic word for “honesty.” It was originally launched as a service for businesses in Arabic-speaking regions to solicit anonymous, candid feedback from their employees and co-workers. However, it quickly went viral in Saudi Arabia and Egypt as an anonymous messaging application.2 Building on its regional success, Sarahah rapidly gained traction in North America, Europe, and Australia. A recent update integrated its functionality and network into Snapchat, one of the most popular social media apps in the world. This prompted an explosive growth in popularity, with over 14 million registered users and 20 million unique daily visitors (it is possible to leave messages in Sarahah without creating an account). 3 What is Sarahah? Sarahah provides a free network to leave anonymous messages through a public profile that a user shares with other people. Anyone with a user’s profile name can anonymously message that user, without necessarily creating an account. Sarahah can be used via web browser or by installing an app on an iOS or Android device. New accounts can be created only via the mobile app. Registration is required in order to receive messages. New users register with an email address, username, password, first and last name, and “handle” or profile name. The username is used to log in to the service, but only the profile name is displayed to other users. The personal link to receive anonymous messages automatically becomes www.PROFILE_NAME.Sarahah.com, and cannot be changed.

  • Assessment of Vessel Requirements for the U.S. Offshore Wind Sector
    Assessment of Vessel Requirements for the U.S. Offshore Wind Sector Prepared for the Department of Energy as subtopic 5.2 of the U.S. Offshore Wind: Removing Market Barriers Grant Opportunity 24th September 2013 Disclaimer This Report is being disseminated by the Department of Energy. As such, the document was prepared in compliance with Section 515 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106-554) and information quality guidelines issued by the Department of Energy. Though this Report does not constitute “influential” information, as that term is defined in DOE’s information quality guidelines or the Office of Management and Budget's Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review (Bulletin), the study was reviewed both internally and externally prior to publication. For purposes of external review, the study and this final Report benefited from the advice and comments of offshore wind industry stakeholders. A series of project-specific workshops at which study findings were presented for critical review included qualified representatives from private corporations, national laboratories, and universities. Acknowledgements Preparing a report of this scope represented a year-long effort with the assistance of many people from government, the consulting sector, the offshore wind industry and our own consortium members. We would like to thank our friends and colleagues at Navigant and Garrad Hassan for their collaboration and input into our thinking and modeling. We would especially like to thank the team at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) who prepared many of the detailed, technical analyses which underpinned much of our own subsequent modeling.
