D.C. people, I'll be in conversation this Wednesday night at the @PoliticsProse on the Wharf with Fordham Law's Olivier Sylvain about his brand-new book, "Reclaiming the Internet: How Big Tech Took Control—and How We Can Take It Back." Looking forward to digging into his call for policymakers and the courts to build up a resilience to, as he puts it in the book, "the free speech mantra" the big online platforms invoke "to explain or justify their services and practices." Plus, I'm hoping to get into his time as a special advisor to the chair of the Biden-era Federal Trade Commission, with a focus on what the rest of us are missing about the role of regulators here.

Happy pub day to RECLAIMING THE INTERNET: How Big Tech Took Control—and How We Can Take It Back, by Olivier Sylvain “A must-read for those interested in AI law & policy, offering vital insights on what works in technology regulation.” —Frank Pasquale 🛜 globalreports.columbia.edu/books/reclaimi…
