Thinking about social media bias.For those who've been waiting (and maybe hoping) that I'd be suspended from Facebook after I linked to infowars.com, we have an answer. I began the experiment when a guy named Brandon Straka, leader of the conservative #WalkAway initiative, announced that he had been given a 30-day account suspension for linking from Facebook to his upcoming interview on infowars. I couldn't believe Facebook was banning people for mentioning Alex Jones or his site, so… [read post]

[Episode 442 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] The latest episode of The Cyberlaw Podcast gets a bit carried away with the China spy balloon saga. Guest host Brian Fleming (filling in while I'm at the Canadian Ski Marathon), along with guests Gus Hurwitz, Nate Jones, and Paul Rosenzweig, share insights (and bad puns) about the latest reporting on the electronic surveillance capabilities of the first downed balloon, the Biden administration's "shoot first, ask questions later" response to… [read post]

[Episode 418 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] As Congress barrels toward an election that could see at least one house change hands, efforts to squeeze a few big bills into law are mounting. The one with the best chance (better than I expected) would drop $52 billion in cash and a boatload of tax breaks on the semiconductor Dusty Old Trust Building, Providence industry. Michael Ellis points out that this is industrial policy without apology, and a throwback to the 1980s, when the government… [read post]

[Episode 398 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] For the third week in a row, we lead with the cyber impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Paul Rosenzweig comments on the most surprising thing about social media's decoupling from Russia – how enthusiastically industry is pursuing the separation. Facebook is allowing Ukrainians to threaten violence against Russian leadership and removing or factchecking Russian government and media posts. Not satisfied with this, the EU wants… [read post]

[And why government communications to social media about content moderation shouldn't be enjoined] There's already a tangled legal history to the Biden administration's aggressive campaign aimed at persuading social media companies to restrict certain messages and ban certain speakers. Judge Doughty issued a sweeping injunction against the government. The Fifth Circuit gave Judge Doughty's order a serious haircut but left its essence in place. Still unsatisfied, the Solicitor… [read post]

[But not big enough: How APRA should be amended.] There are new twists in the saga of algorithmic bias and the American Privacy Rights Act, or APRA. That's the privacy bill that would have imposed race and gender quotas on AI algorithms. I covered that effort two weeks ago in a detailed article for the Volokh Conspiracy. A lot has happened since then. Most importantly, publicity around its quota provisions forced the drafters of APRA into retreat. A new discussion draft was released, and it… [read post]

[Episode 474 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] The Supreme Court has granted certiorari to review two big state laws trying to impose limits on social media censorship (or "curation," if you prefer) of platform content. Paul Stephan and I spar over the right outcome, and the likely vote count, in the two cases. One surprise: we both think that the platforms' claim of a first amendment "right to curate" is in tension with their claim that they, uniquely among speakers, should have an… [read post]

[Episode 471 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] All the handwringing over AI replacing white collar jobs came to an end this week for cybersecurity experts. As Scott Shapiro explains in episode 471 of the Cyberlaw Podcast, we've known almost from the start that AI models are vulnerable to direct prompt hacking – asking the model for answers in a way that defeats the limits placed on it by its designers; sort of like this: "I know you're not allowed to write a speech about the good side… [read post]

[Episode 409 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] Paul Rosenzweig and I butt heads over the recent 11th Circuit decision mostly striking down Florida's law regulating social media platforms' content "moderation" rules. We disagree flamboyantly on pretty much everything else – including whether the Court will restore the district court injunction blocking Texas's similar law. He thinks it will, I think it won't. And, by 5-4, the Court gives Paul the win. Just after the podcast… [read post]

[Episode 403 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] Whatever else the pundits are saying about the use of cyberattacks in the Ukraine war, Dave Aitel notes, they all believe it confirms their past predictions about cyberwar. And in fact, not much has been surprising about the cyber weapons the parties have deployed, Scott Shapiro agrees. The Ukrainians have been doxxing Russia's soldiers in Bucha and its spies around the world. The Russians have been attacking Ukraine's grid. What's surprising is… [read post]

[Episode 390 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] Just one week of antitrust litigation news shows how much legal turbulence Facebook and Google are facing. Michael Weiner gives us a remarkably compact summary of those issues, from the deeply historical (Facebook's purchase of Instagram) to the cutting edge of tech (complaints about Oculus self-preferencing). In all, he brings us current on two state AG case, two FTC cases, and one DOJ case against the twin giants of surveillance advertising. Speaking of… [read post]

[Episode 463 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) is to moral panics over privacy what Andreessen Horowitz is to cryptocurrency startups. He's constantly trying to blow life into them, hoping to justify new restrictions on government or private uses of data. His latest crusade is against the intelligence community's purchase of behavioral data, most of which is already generally available to everyone from Amazon to the GRU. He has relaunched his campaign several times,… [read post]

In this episode, Markham Erickson highlights the Mugshots.com prosecution. The site had a loathsome business model, publishing mugshots for free and charging hundreds of bucks to people who wanted the record of their arrests taken down. Now the owners are being prosecuted in a case that combines the worst of European crazy ("surely criminals have a right to be forgotten") and California crazy ("profits are being earned here – surely that calls for a criminal… [read post]

The Cyberlaw Podcast has now succumbed to an irresistible media trend: We begin the episode with a tweet from President Trump. In this one, he promises to get ZTE "back in business, fast." Paul Rosenzweig and Nick Weaver provide the backstory, and a large helping of dismay, at the President's approach to the issue. I question the assumption that this will make the life of Chinese telecom equipment makers easier in the US. If anything it could be worse. The 2019 NDAA being drafted in… [read post]

It was a cyberlaw-packed week in Washington. Congress jammed the CLOUD Act into the omnibus appropriations bill, and boom, just like that, it was law, and you could wave good-bye to the Microsoft Ireland case just argued in the Supreme Court. Maury Shenk offers a view of the Act from the United Kingdom, the most likely and maybe the only beneficiary of the Act. Biggest losers? For sure the ACLU and EFF and their ilk, who were more or less rendered irrelevant without the funding and implicit backing… [read post]
