Chin on Anonymity & Racial Injjustice

William Y. Chin (Lewis & Clark Law School) has posted Weaponized Anonymity: The Continuing Marginalization of Communities of Color through Racially-Biased Anonymous Processes in U.S. Society (Connecticut Public Interest Law Journal, Forthcoming) on SSRN.  Here is the abstract:

Past palpable racial bias persists through time migrating now toward dark corners of anonymous spaces inflicting harm on communities of color. Whether nameless 911 calls to law enforcement, innominate tips to immigration officials, or stealthy reports to child welfare services, people of color must contend with these and other forms of weaponized anonymity in myriad sectors of society as anonymous people and processes continue the marginalization of communities of color. Laws and policies must neutralize anonymity’s dark side by removing or regulating anonymity to ensure that all in society may live, work, and exist equally.
