I sat for an interview w/ Jordan's "weaponization of government" committee. They argued researchers studying online rumors (and platforms taking action re: harmful falsehoods) were "biased" & "targeting conservatives". Turns out, one side just spreads more BS. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The FTC just announced an enforcement sweep against a bunch of AI companies, including several actions under the Consumer Review Fairness Act, a deeply underappreciated tool for pushing back against companies who try to stifle critics and analysts.The FTC just announced an enforcement sweep against a bunch of AI companies, including several actions under the Consumer Review Fairness Act, a deeply underappreciated tool for pushing back against companies who try to stifle critics and analysts.

This is a classic classroom hypothetical about prior restraint; I think the Chemerinsky treatise uses it as well. There's a very solid case that Penn State's seizure of all copies of the paper is grounds for a § 1983 action.This is a classic classroom hypothetical about prior restraint; I think the Chemerinsky treatise uses it as well.

The Justice Department suggests that the FBI has the ability to take control of drones. This one was flying near the finish line of the Boston Marathon this year. The FBI "intercepted" the drone and brought it down at a predetermined location. Also, the guy loses his drone and had to pay a fine.

The UCI Press Freedom Project has scored yet another win for transparency and accountability. Our client Kathy Rusch just published a BLOCKBUSTER story showing that for decades law enforcement agencies across CA have been concealing misconduct with secret “clean-record” agreements.

RFK Jr. has thrown a grenade into the North Carolina election. He waited too long to remove his name from the ballot—then persuaded the far-right NC Supreme Court to do it anyway, an egregious violation of law that has canceled early voting indefinitely. slate.com/news-and-pol...
