SCOTUS attached a massive warning to their remand of the Netchoice cases: Laws that interfere with the editorial discretion of private online services, including their curation decisions, shall face a tremendous First Amendment hurdle. https://www.supremecourt.gov/ ... [image]

SCOTUS orders lower courts to take another look at Texas' and Florida's social media laws, saying neither lower court conducted proper analysis of 1A challenges

Those states are now, more than ever, prime targets for litigation. The Supreme Court doesn't mince words either — these laws will fail, one way or another. CC: New York and California. [image]

What does this mean for states that previously (and recently) enacted social media regulations? It means that the taxpayers in those states will be paying heavily for that mistake.

Today, the Supreme Court announced their opinion in Murthy v. Missouri. This case illustrates the complexities of online content moderation and offers some interesting insight into how the Court might rule on the long-awaited NetChoice & CCIA cases. 🧵 https://www.supremecourt.gov/ ...

SCOTUS declines to impose limits on the way the Biden administration may communicate with social media platforms, overturning a lower court's 2023 decision

So, compliance with this law will be expensive as hell for AI startups, many of which won't even know if they have a successful product to begin with before investing in training. But maybe lawmakers think that's a feature not a bug? [image]

Rep. Adam Schiff introduced a bill that would require companies training generative AI models to disclose all of the copyrighted work they used to do so

including that it's propelled by a calculation that forcing AI companies to disclose copyrighted materials is the politically popular move https://www.billboard.com/... Luiza Jarov...

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! Datasets are incredibly dynamic, especially when it comes to AI training. So, each time the set is updated in a “significant manner,” the notice requirement is triggered. [image]

Copyright attaches automatically to any creative works fixed in a tangible medium of expression. So, pretty much all works used to train an AI system will require disclosures, regardless of fair use considerations. (btw you don't “train” a dataset but details). [image]

Yeah so this bill is laughably bad. The Generative AI Copyright Disclosure Act of 2024 requires anyone using a dataset to train AI to disclose any copyrighted works in the set to the U.S. Copyright Office to be displayed via a public database. 🧵https://schiff.house.gov/ ...

This is precisely my issue with the “it's not a ban” take. Most of the age appropriate design code bills don't expressly ban users under 18, but in practice, they will. Most of the bills aren't even facial recognition bills, but in practice, they are.

@Meta [I love that the Court isn't buying Texas' bullshit re: can't operate in the state of Texas. The law literally says that the platforms can't exit Texas because of this law. The State is quite literally lying to the Court. I hope NetChoice calls this TF out].

🚨 Florida passed HB 1 — another social media law aimed at terminating teen access to the Internet. Perhaps the final boss of anti-kids legislation. The good news? It's so blatantly unconstitutional the inevitable legal challenge will be a slam dunk. https://www.flsenate.gov/... [image]

Florida passes one of the US' most restrictive bills on minors' social media use, despite First Amendment concerns; Governor Ron DeSantis has to sign the bill

Somehow Florida managed to pile every First Amendment faux pas into a single piece of legislation. It's like the lawmakers looked at all of the recent Netchoice holdings and specifically picked the provisions that the courts found most likely to fail. [image]

Forcing private entities to carry government approved messages when they otherwise wouldn't isn't free speech at all, but tyranny. Which is why the Supreme Court has no choice but to overturn Texas and Florida. [image]

[Thread] Texas' and Florida's online speech rules for platforms cannot be justified, as less restrictive tools that give users control over online content exist
