"Whenever you get into the copyright realm, a lot of judges just decide it's all vibes." Senior Policy Counsel @mrose.ink breaks down Google and Reddit's uphill DMCA battles against @serpapi.com — and why the bigger risk is a broader "re-enclosure" of the open web. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

What happens when telecom companies are allowed to walk away from providing basic, reliable phone service? Senior Vice President @haroldfeld.bsky.social weighs in on the Unbuffered podacst: share.transistor.fm/s/25b5e851

"This Commission is putting provider convenience ahead of consumer needs in the middle of an affordability crisis." Read our statement from Legal Director @bergmayer.net:

Today, the FCC released a Report and Order, adopted yesterday, that weakens key transparency and accountability requirements for broadband providers’ consumer labels. Broadband labels are designed to help consumers compare plans and understand what they will actually pay for broadband service.

Congress agrees AI chatbots need guardrails for kids — but they very much do not agree on how. Policy Analyst @mwils.bsky.social breaks down why @markey.senate.gov's Youth AI Privacy Act is the right model:

@publicknowledge.bsky.social supports this bill but urges technology companies – including AI platforms – to create products that are privacy-protective and safe for everyone, as well as children. Read our statement from Policy Analyst @mwils.bsky.social: publicknowledge.org/public-knowl...

Today, @markey.senate.gov introduced the “Youth AI Privacy Act,” a bill that would limit how AI chatbots use children’s data and safeguard against manipulative design features – all without enacting invasive age verification systems or content restrictions that restrict free speech.

🎉Today, @balint.house.gov and @velazquez.house.gov introduced the “Online Sellers’ Bill of Rights Act” to protect online sellers from having their goods or funds improperly detained by platforms. Read more in our statement from Legal Director @bergmayer.net: publicknowledge.org/public-knowl...

here's 180 seconds on why we need to stop a billionaire media merger, as told by the people who are about to be screwed by the merger

Tomorrow at 9:45 AM! @publicknowledge.bsky.social Senior Vice President @haroldfeld.bsky.social will join the FCC's IP Transition Workshop for the panel “The Right Interconnection Framework for and All-IP World.” Tune in using the link below: www.fcc.gov/news-events/...

"State attorneys general are doing the job the Justice Department refused to do." Read our statement from @publicknowledge.bsky.social Legal Director @bergmayer.net:

🚨 Today, a group of 12 state attorneys general filed an antitrust lawsuit against Paramount/Skydance to halt its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, alleging that the merger would cause harm to competition, reduce quality for TV and movie content, and raise prices for consumers.

ABC is right on this one. You don't have to like their coverage to see the danger here. Handing government the power to decide what's newsworthy and which guests to feature is a threat to press freedom, no matter which party is in charge.

Mark your calendars! 🗓️ On July 21, join us in DC for the panel event "How Challengers Thrive: Why Competition Matters for AI, Security, and the Open Internet," feat. @chrisjlewis.bsky.social, President and CEO at @publicknowledge.bsky.social. RSVP: form.jotform.com/261617630959...

This fall, @publicknowledge.bsky.social turns 25! 🎉 We've spent a quarter century of fighting for the open internet – from defeating online censorship laws, to taking on Big Tech, to fighting for #netneutrality rules in Congress and the courts. Read our story and join the celebration.

The House IP Subcommittee is back on its BS. Now they’re trying to push site blocking legislation. The idea that DNS level blocking works and hasn’t caused problems is entirely a PR campaign. Ask anyone in Spain how La Liga’s blocking is working for them.
