Predatory business practices and failed public policy have made the spread of artificial intelligence a potentially existential threat to journalism. If properly regulated, new technology could offer an important step toward a solution, writes @courtneyr, director @CJL4News @openmarkets.

The European Court of Justice handed down a ruling today that is a big win for media and that anyone who has been following the long, grinding war between news publishers and the tech platforms that profit from their work will want to celebrate

Writing from the land of the censors about a lawsuit against censorship by those who claim censorship by the Industrial Censorship Complex…

The showdown between Anthropic and Trump's Department of War is a pivotal test of whether democratic norms can restrain the surveillance and combat-AI infrastructure we’ve built. https://t.co/MINoK6GLFO.

Censorship & capitulation: the latest on Colbert v Carr and why corporate greed and cowardice, government jawboning and media behemoths blocked the airing of an interview with @jamestalarico, Senate candidate from Texas (triggering the Streisand Effect!) https://t.co/sKGGcp6Tq4

Both @netflix & @Paramount deals are wrong for @warnerbros AND democracy. Both are dangerous as they would produce an unprecedented concentration of power over what Americans watch, which stories get told amid troubling susceptibility to political pressure https://t.co/a6y8eZfVSb

A stat worth knowing: McKinsey the consulting firm has more employees than there are journalists of any kind in the US, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

We knew this was coming. What could go wrong when a pro-Nazi chatbot designed to be politically incorrect is granted access to government systems and integrated into our federal agencies?!

BREAKING: Elon Musk's xAI has signed a deal with the federal government to allow the integration of its Grok AI with federal agencies.

Spoke to @courtneyr about a Reuters investigation into Meta’s AI rules for chatbots that allowed “sensual chats with children.” We discuss concerns around safety of users, ethics, regulation, and corporate accountability.

This proposal should be blocked by the FCC, if it ever does materialize. Its approval will only lead to further erosion of antitrust laws, freedom of the press, and dangerously shrink media plurality and diversity in America.

Disappointing but better than nothing. Judge Orders Google to Share Search Results to Help Resolve Monopoly but fallls short of meaningful structural remedies and addressing Google’s anticompetitive data advantage https://t.co/42uFwnKRcR

The concierge service Trump is giving Big Tech after claiming to be an antagonist is hardly a surprise but putting it all together, as Public Citizen did in a great report, is something. 1 in 3 holdover cases against tech/crypto firms dropped in 7 months.

16 press freedom, civil society & labor groups including @CJL4News, urge the @FCC to think twice before abandoning limits on media consolidation:

"Allowing for even more media consolidation poses too great a risk to our democracy, and to the free press on which it depends"

Thank you, President Trump, for standing up for American tech companies in the face of unprecedented attacks from other governments.

We appreciate your support and recognition of the importance of American business and innovation.

A journalist for an Australian news channel was shot with a rubber bullet as she reported on ICE protests in Los Angeles. Nine News said she “was left sore but otherwise unharmed.”

[Karen Hao @_KarenHao]

In an op-ed for @nytimes, I argue that the alliance between Silicon Valley & the US government is a threat to democracy. The Republican tax bill now up in the Senate, which would ban states from regulating AI for a decade, will only cement that trajectory. https://t.co/G65WtGZ2c9
