Helen Lewis presents a new series of encounters with innovative thinkers. In this episode, she meets Danielle Citron, a professor of law at the University of Virginia, and the author of The Fight for Privacy. The release into the public domain of digital images such as nude photographs, and private information points gathered online without the user's awareness, can cause their subjects serious trauma. But, Citron argues, the radical technological developments of the last few years have left the law behind. She tells Helen why she contends that it is now vital - as in the US, so in the UK - to establish a new right to 'intimate privacy'. Producer: Phil Tinline
