At the Berkman Klein Center, Trisha Prabhu works alongside Professor Jonathan Zittrain to explore the viability of information fiduciaries, described as “a grand bargain to make tech companies trustworthy.” By investigating whether and how tech companies might hold a duty of loyalty to their users, Trisha hopes to understand how the law might be leveraged to safeguard today’s digital citizens’ interests.
Trisha is currently a J.D. candidate at Yale Law School. She is a graduate of Harvard College.
