That which is wrong is not always illegal or unconstitutional.

And the equivalent: just because something is legal doesn't mean it's right. https://t.co/OHcHhcN71s

What‘s something that seems obvious within your profession, but the general public seems to misunderstand?

"This excludes the vast majority of memes and satire. Additionally, AB 2839 and AB 2655 explicitly exempt satire and parody, though AB 2839 requires labeling of such satire or parody." — #USCGould Prof. @JefAtLaw on CA's new AI-related bills, in @LogicallyFacts

@americanamemes Now do getting off the 110 in Highland Park.

@MaybellRomero That's always seemed like the cleanest solution to me, too (particularly with a warning that that's the result), though I think software-enforced limits have saved me from having to do much of it.

[Jody David Armour @NiggaTheory]

My heart is heavy but my spirits are high as I grieve the loss of the ⁦@USC⁩ students’ encampment but celebrate their courageous & conscientious fight against our complicity in mass graves, collective punishment, forced starvation, & the killing of more than 14,000 children

[Jef Pearlman @JefAtLaw]

@Farangi15201299 @NiggaTheory @USC There are.

[Jef Pearlman @JefAtLaw]

@lisalmn Yep. And university message says this is the reason for closure.

[Jef Pearlman @JefAtLaw]

USC is on full lockdown. No one allowed in or out.

[Jef Pearlman @JefAtLaw]

@lisalmn No explanation given but it seems like the most likely one is that there is a May Day march going by and they do not want them to enter and join the existing protest. But take the rumor with a grain of salt.

[Jef Pearlman @JefAtLaw]

Does anyone have any tools or contacts for reinstating a Google group? A large, established, important, and entirely legitimate academic group was recently shut down, apparently due to a malicious report, and Google has offered no explanation or path to appeal or discuss.

[County of Santa Clara @SCCgov]

The County applauds this decision by the FCC. We advocated for the restoration of Net Neutrality because everyone in Santa Clara County deserves reliable and open access to the internet − including for immediate access to critical information from the County during emergencies.

@OrinKerr I hope this is just data gathering for a paper to be published in said journal.

It’s done.

[Jef Pearlman @JefAtLaw]

Don't come here much these days, but swung by, saw this, and couldn't help but think of you @CJSprigman.

[Jef Pearlman @JefAtLaw]

Haven't been here in a bit; did Xerox buy Twitter?!

[Jef Pearlman @JefAtLaw]

I gotta ask: isn't calling it "the ex platform" a little on the nose?

[Jef Pearlman @JefAtLaw]

@andy_geronimo @profalankchen At least in Firefox (and I suspect the others), you can set a keyword for a bookmark so when you type west and hit enter, it takes you to the bookmark instead. I use it a lot—lets me change the browser's behavior without changing my own, which is the dream. ;)
