Ep 3 Are We Dating the Same Guy?

In this episode, Mandi and Vanshika chat about “Are We Dating The Same Guy” Facebook groups. We talk about the importance of whisper networks and how public platforms have changed the way we share information. We also talk about the pitfalls of dating online and how expectations of privacy have changed with technology, particularly in the context of intimate relationships. 

This episode explores the tension between sharing information to keep people safe and the reputation-related concerns like defamation, and to what extent public shaming is effective and ineffective in actually addressing harm. 

For more further reading about defamation in the context of sexual violence, check out Mandi’s book, Suing for Silence: Sexual Violence and Defamation Law (UBC Press, 2024).
