How do online crowds form, grow and behave? How do they wield influence? What distinguishes desirable crowd activism from mob harassment?
In the summer of 2022, Cornell Tech and Cornell Law School professor James Grimmelmann and postdoctoral fellow Charles Duan hosted a virtual workshop in which participants attempted to answer these questions and more.
At the end of the two-day online workshop Grimmelmann, the Tessler Family Professor of Digital and Information Law at Cornell Tech and at Cornell Law School, and co-organizer Duan, now an assistant professor of law at American University's Washington College of Law, asked participants to reflect on the conversations and identify important themes about platforms and crowds.
