For many years, Washington debated whether to impose effective price controls on broadband. It's ironic, because Internet access is now one of the few services defying inflation that is otherwise permeating the economy. x.com/USTelecom/stat…

1/ Prof. Meg Leta Jones and I just filed an amicus brief in the Fifth Circuit defending Texas's App Store Accountability Act (S.B. 2420). A district court blocked it. We think that was clear error. Here's why this law should stand — and why the ruling against it puts every state kids-online law at risk. 🧵

I know what you’re thinking - let’s tax podcast mics, I agree! But give Evan’s new show a listen! He’s smart and funny even when I don’t agree with him

🚨New podcast launched: The Center Edge. Tech policy gets made in the center. The rhetoric lives at the edge. This show is about both. 👇Episode 1 with Chair @BrendanCarrFCC is out now —drones, routers, satellites, and evolving Republican approaches to leading the agency.

A huge percentage of children are using AI chatbots as companions. It's a concerning development, and lawmakers are introducing bills in Congress to address it. The GUARD Act would prohibit companion chatbots for those under 18. It has bipartisan support.

On the allegations of impropriety, FDA scientists recommended authorization of these flavored products. The former FDA commissioner overrode his own staff’s recommendation in banning all flavored vapes.

Youth vaping concerns are real. But the products primarily driving youth use are illicit Chinese vapes marketed with candy flavors like gummy bear and waffle, not FDA-authorized products intended for adult smokers.

FDA made the right choice. Illegal, unregulated Chinese vapes w/ dangerous chemicals and kid-targeted flavors are all over the U.S. Banning American companies from selling flavored vapes gives more market share to illegal products and denies adults a legit smoking alternative.
Senator Dick Durbin@SenatorDurbin

FDA must reverse its recent authorization of flavored e-cigarette products that appeal to children. We cannot allow President Trump and the tobacco lobby to unleash a new wave of addiction on the next generation of kids.

Back in March, ProPublica reported that Lisa Monaco—and other former DoJ officials that were responsible for vetting Microsoft cloud products for cybersecurity—pushed through approvals despite red flags. Now, they work at Microsoft, but they're facing a potential DoJ referral.

Geoffrey Cain@geoffrey_cain

The Department of Justice is supposed to prosecute companies for misrepresenting their cybersecurity. Two senior DOJ officials helped push Microsoft's cloud product through, even after Chinese hackers breached it, then took senior jobs at Microsoft. Talk about conflict of interest.

BEAD was designed to bring fixed high-speed broadband to every American that lacks access. Some voices want to expand the program to include mobile wireless towers. As @bart_cleland writes, Congress didn't intend that. And direct-to-device satellite may solve coverage gaps.

The Center Edge is produced by @VulgateMedia. Big thanks to @JoelLThayer and @NickDegani at DPI for their support. And a special thanks to everyone who listened to my past show The Dynamist. If you liked that show, you'll like this one too. Reach out to me with guest ideas.

These are important points from @NathanLeamerDC to consider in the AI discourse. Whatever your thoughts on data centers are, they are necessary for a wide range of Internet services and the massive buildout of them is a jolt for construction crews, electricians, etc.
MTS@MTSlive

We asked @NathanLeamerDC how he thinks about AI job displacement. His take: before talking about jobs AI may replace, talk about the jobs AI is already creating. “Before I get to the displacement, I wanna highlight that there are thousands, hundreds of thousands of workers out there.” “Tradesmen, skilled laborers, who are building this infrastructure.” “They’ve never been busier in their life than they have been building data centers.” “One electrician said, ‘I have human dignity now because of this work.’” “These are the real men and women doing great work.”
