Susan Benesch

[3] After graduating from Columbia University,[4] she worked in journalism, including as staff writer for the Miami Herald in Haiti and St. Petersburg Times' correspondent in Latin America.

[6][7] Benesch worked for the NGOs Amnesty International and Human Rights First, and is currently the faculty associate of Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University.

[11] Benesch is a critic of United States president Donald Trump, saying that he operates in a gray area of "dangerous speech" such as when he suggested that supporters should use the Second Amendment on Hillary Clinton.

She describes Trump as "undermining the extent to which his supporters trust the essential institutions and practices of U.S. democracy", which she finds "deeply irresponsible".

In response to Gordon's criticism she revised her test in "The Ghost of Causation in International Speech Crime Cases".
