Will Courts Allow FCC to Revive Net Neutrality?
Plus Florida and Texas laws go to SCOTUS, the Tech Policy Podcast, quotes on our testimony, and more
Net Neutrality: In Reason, Berin explained why imposing common carriage on broadband, whether through Title II or disparate impact liability, is a bad idea—a fix for a problem that still doesn’t exist. He was also quoted in the Washington Examiner, New York Post, and NH Journal.
On the latest Tech Policy Podcast, Corbin interviewed James Pethokoukis of the American Enterprise Institute about his new book The Conservative Futurist: How to Create the Sci-Fi World We Were Promised.
AI: Earlier today, Ari spoke at the Center for Democracy and Technology’s 7th Annual Future of Speech Online event. His panel (starting at 1:40:15) discussed designing a liability framework for generative AI.
Several outlets quoted or even reprinted in its entirety Ari’s congressional testimony about AI and election-related speech. They included PBS News, Tech Policy Press, FedScoop, Portland Press Herald, Ohio Capital Journal, Missouri Independent, and more.
RealClearBooks featured Corbin’s essay on AI-generated writing from The Bulwark.
Free Speech: Last week, the Supreme Court announced it will review lawsuits over the Florida and Texas social media speech regulations. We’ve filed an amicus brief at every stage of litigation for each bill—explaining why these laws violate the First Amendment. Later this term, we’ll file (again) at the highest court in the land.
We joined more than 50 organizations in a letter to the DOJ expressing concern and calling for greater transparency on the raid of journalist Tim Burke’s home.
Bloomberg Law mentioned the amicus brief we signed onto urging the Fifth Circuit to affirm the district court’s finding that H.B.1181, a Texas law that requires age verification, violates the First Amendment.
If it ain’t broke, fix it anyway.
