Nixon has his 18.5 minute gap. Lina blacked out all mentions of her refusing to recuse herself in the Meta lawsuits. It's not the crime. It's the cover-up. https://twitter.com/... [image]

1. I've disagreed with @gigibsohn about the biggest telecom issues for 15 years—but those issues aren't why her nomination floundered. Multiple Dem Senators feared supporting someone who had called out Fox for what it was in the Trump years: “state-sponsored propaganda” https://twitter.com/...

Biden's FCC nominee Gigi Sohn tells the White House she is dropping out after her nomination stalled for 16 months amid industry opposition and personal attacks

Senate Judiciary meeting just started.

A US Senate committee votes to approve the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act, letting news organizations jointly negotiate with big tech platforms

Today's #JCPA markup illustrates how deeply broken Congress is: it's bad enough that the Judiciary Committee really doesn't understand or care how the text they draft will be applied by the, uh, judiciary Even those who care don't care enough to insist on getting it right

Big tech's abuse isn't limited to the exercise of market power. They also abuse their power in the public square. We've already been through this. Must-carry violated the First Amendment even where newspapers had true local monopolies. Cruz knows better. https://twitter.com/...

The court refused to strike down the TX law as facially unconstitutional because of overbreadth, suggesting that it would have to be challenged as to specific applications Just like Florida's 1903 must-carry mandate was unconstitutional as applied to all newspapers all the time? https://twitter.com/...

lol no The Packingham Court referred to tech companies as “town squares” in a purely colloquial sense. The case involved a state law compelling tech companies not to host sex offenders, so the Court didn't say anything about whether they were public fora absent such compulsion https://twitter.com/...

And in Halleck (2019), Judge Kavanaugh, writing for the conservative majority, was very clear: “merely hosting speech by others is not a traditional, exclusive public function and does not alone transform private entities into state actors subject to First Amendment constraints.”

Today's decision lets the Texas law go into effect Or, more precisely, it removes the district court's injunction, thus forcing the platforms to ask either the full Fifth Circuit en banc or SCOTUS to review the law on an emergency basis and stay its enforcement in the meantime https://twitter.com/...

Even for such a badly reasoned opinion, this is just embarrassing. The court is saying that the platforms getting Section 230 protection against liability somehow means they don't have First Amendment rights Literally Day One of Law School: statutes can't trump the Constitution https://twitter.com/...
