A Ring of Regulatory Redundancy: How the FTC's Meta Case Misses the Mark
Plus common carriage, Section 230, and more…
Antitrust: In the latest edition of our “Tech in the Courts” series, Corbin and ICLE President Geoff Manne examined the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit against Meta. What’s wrong with the case? Well, Geoff and Corbin criticize … everything. Tune in.
Common Carriage: Last week, we launched our joint webinar series with Washington Legal Foundation. Berin joined a panel on common carriage, the legal limits on its application—including the First Amendment—and when it genuinely serves the public interest. The panel was also featured in this week’s GWU Regulations Digest. Additional dates to be announced soon!
Section 230: In Techdirt, Corbin tore into the Third Circuit’s atrocious Section 230 decision in Anderson v. TikTok. The piece is also on his Substack, and it was mentioned in Reason. Corbin’s Twitter ranting about the decision was quoted in Just the News.
AI: The Sacramento Bee (paywall) quoted our letter to Governor Gavin Newsom, which raised concerns about how SB 1047 would “introduce burdensome compliance costs and broad regulatory uncertainty as to which [open-source AI] models are in scope.”
Administrative Law: In City Journal, Corbin explained why the SEC’s efforts to impose national climate policy exceed the agency’s authority and are likely to be struck down under the “major questions” doctrine. His essay was also featured in RealClearPolicy.
