Plus AI, federal and state journalism bills, and a new podcast appearance
Broadband: In City Journal, Corbin examined advocacy groups’ attempt to convince the FCC to claim vast powers over the broadband industry based on doubtful textual foundations—a topic we’ve also covered in recent comments and reply comments.
Section 230: Corbin talked to the Opening Arguments podcast about Gonzalez v. Google, Twitter v. Taamneh, and how these cases could’ve—but didn’t—break the Internet.
AI: The Washington Post (paywall) quoted Bilal on antitrust regulators’ approach so far to artificial intelligence: They’ve relied on “antitrust and consumer protection buzzwords without any explanation for why AI is different and might demand a … different response.”
FTC: Appuals mentioned Bilal in the context of recent developments at the FTC, including former Commissioner Christine Wilson’s resignation; these developments have led many to ask whether the FTC is becoming a rogue agency.
