How Will Courts Interpret the FTC’s Proposed Ban on Noncompete Agreements?
Plus our latest work on Section 230, surveillance, and harm reduction
FTC Competition Rulemakings: Corbin participated in a Federalist Society panel (video) to discuss the FTC’s proposed ban on noncompete agreements. He discussed the FTC’s lack of rulemaking authority and the threat the Commission faces from a loss in Court.
Berin was quoted on the same subject in Grid News. He examined the two regulatory authorities the FTC uses, and—as we have explained before—why National Petroleum Refiners wouldn’t be decided the same way today.
Surveillance: On the latest Tech Policy Podcast, Corbin and Nathan Wessler talk about whether the Fourth Amendment can protect us from sweeping government digital surveillance.
Section 230: Last week, Corbin participated in a media briefing to discuss the oral arguments in Gonzalez v. Google. His comments from that briefing and elsewhere were quoted in CNBC and dot.LA.
Harm Reduction: Ari’s Twitter thread details how the obstruction of harm reduction innovation has taken many forms of late—and is “simply government at its worst.”
