Event: Register now for the fifth installment of our “Tech in the Courts” webinar series on Tuesday, December 10, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. ET. Our panel will examine the current landscape of tech antitrust cases and the potential effects of new DOJ & FTC leadership.
AI: Berin and Jim were joined by several experts as they explored the landscape of regulating AI in political advertisements, both at the federal and state level, including new empirical research suggesting that the labels themselves may turn voters off to political ads that use AI.
Constitutional Law: In The Bulwark, Berin explained how Donald Trump could serve a third term, consistent with the Twenty-Second Amendment, simply by running for vice president in 2028 and returning to the presidency after the resignation of his running mate.
Content Moderation: In Techdirt, Corbin explained why Elon Musk should loudly denounce Florida’s and Texas’s social media laws (though he probably won’t). The essay, which is also on Substack, was quoted at length in Reason.
The Fediverse: On the latest Tech Policy Podcast, Samantha Lai (Carnegie Endowment) discussed federated social media (Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, etc.)—the architecture, the vibes, the content moderation, and more.
Antitrust: On a new episode of Rethinking Antitrust, Joseph Coniglio of ITIF joined Bilal to review his new paper, A Theory for All and None: A Neo-schumpeterian Model of Antitrust Law and Political Economy.
Microsoft Cases: On another episode of Rethinking Antitrust, Andy Gavil and Harry First—authors of one of the seminal histories of the Microsoft cases—discussed the history of the case and its continuing relevance to current monopolization cases.
Administrative Law: The Washington Examiner quoted Corbin’s recent Substack piece on the nondelegation doctrine’s return to the Supreme Court.
FTC: Network Law Review featured Corbin’s City Journal essay on Lina Khan's inability to advance her aggressive antitrust agenda.
