Flu beats CNN
I’d like to respond to the CNN piece about cyberbullying, but I have the flu and am unable to think longer than a sentence in advance. You can see the piece here. And here is my worry-wart post about my participation in it. Briefly my take is: It didn’t do the flat-out, ominous chords scare-mongering, but it nevertheless was perilously close to self-parody.

By the way, I should note that CNN got my attribution wrong. They say I’m a professor at Harvard. In fact, I’m a Fellow at Harvard. To be precise, I’m a Research Fellow at Harvard Law’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society. (The ampersand is an official part of the name.) And I was very clear about this attribution when CNN asked. There are major differences between professors and fellows, affecting everything from teaching to pay-scales to voting to having to wear a silly cap and picking up dry-cleaning for professors. (I’ve written about being a fellow here.)
