Abuse on the blockchain – Guest lecture at Stanford University by Molly White

"Abuse on the blockchain". A guest lecture by Molly White at Stanford University on March 7, 2022. This lecture was for two courses that run in parallel—POLISCI 243C: The Politics of Internet Abuse, and CS 152: Trust and Safety Engineering. There is a Q&A portion at the end—to protect the privacy of students I've removed any video or audio besides my own, and replaced the question audio with a text summary of the question.

The topic I discuss in this lecture is one of several topics I discuss in my blockchain essays at https://blog.mollywhite.net/blockchain/, and particularly draws from https://blog.mollywhite.net/abuse-and-harassment-on-the-blockchain/. I discuss the topic of anonymous cryptocurrency wallets in more detail in https://blog.mollywhite.net/anonymous-crypto-wallets/.
