Amy Lynn Peikoff is an American writer, blogger, and a professor of philosophy and law. Peikoff is the Chief Policy Officer of social media platform Parler. An accomplished scholar on Objectivism and privacy law, Professor Amy Peikoff has served as a faculty member at universities around the country over the past decade, teaching and writing in the areas of Contemporary Moral Problems, Contracts, Ethics, Information Privacy Law, Morality and Business, Philosophy of Law, Political Philosophy and Professional Responsibility. She served as a visiting lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin in 2003, a visiting assistant professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2004, an assistant and associate professor at the U.S. Air Force Academy from 2005 to 2008, and as a visiting fellow at Chapman University School of Law from 2008 to 2012.
Professor Peikoff’s articles have been published in a variety of scholarly journals such as Brandeis Law Journal, NYU Journal of Law & Liberty, St. John’s Law Review and Virginia Journal of Social Policy & The Law, among others. She has lectured and served as a panelist on privacy issues and individual rights at dozens of Objectivist conferences and scholarly forums around the country, including DePaul College of Law, Keck Graduate Institute, Stanford, UCLA and University of Texas at Austin, as well as the Liberty Conference in Brazil.
Professor Peikoff finds the most exciting aspect of her area of interest to be “seeing a problem and coming up with a solution that can affect something you care about.” For example, after writing about privacy issues for many years, she found her interest waning, until the 2012 Supreme Court decision in United States v. Jones inspired her to solve the problem of the "third-party doctrine" and, one year later, “Edward Snowden's revelations made that solution more relevant than ever.”
