Samantha Floreani is a digital rights activist currently working at Digital Rights Watch Australia. She's written extensively about why digital privacy is a feminist issue, and why online anonymity is good and necessary for a robust democracy. Evie spoke with Sam about the Australian Federal Government's proposed new legislation aimed at making online “trolls” accountable for their actions and why it's not what it seems, and why defamation is a rich man’s game.
