.@BrendanCarrFCC is weaponizing the “public interest” standard against viewpoints he dislikes. Such jawboning violates the First Amendment, due process, and the rule of law. 75+ civil society groups & free speech experts joined us in this coalition letter 🧵

The First Amendment leaves editorial judgments to broadcasters—not regulators. @TechFreedom was joined more than 50 First Amendment scholars and free speech organizations in filing reply comments urging the FCC to end its “equal time” crackdown on The View.

Witness the peaceful transfer of power! On a new @TechPolicyPdcst, outgoing host @corbinkbarthold hands the reins to @AriCohn. To mark the occasion, they go on one final mega-rant about the state of social media and AI regulation.

The government shouldn't decide which political interviews are "real news." Yesterday, @TechFreedom filed comments urging the FCC to grant ABC's petition, recognize The View as a bona fide news interview program, and stop chilling political speech.

From the Red Scare to Brandenburg, history shows that fear makes bad First Amendment law. As AI reshapes how we think and speak, @corbinkbarthold makes the case for holding the line on free expression.

Since we had this convo about algorithms four years ago, the debate has evolved—but the First Amendment problems have not! New @TechPolicyPdcst “From the Vault”: Daphne Keller discusses algorithmic amplification w/ @corbinkbarthold and @AriCohn. techfreedom.simplecast.com/episodes/from-…

I have a new piece up with the fine folks at @SpeechFuture on my favorite topic lately -- why AI outputs are protected by the First Amendment. The First Amendment has weathered anarchists, communists, and more; it can weather the chatbots, too.
