So proud of my partner Duffy Carolan’s work on this matter with @FACoalition, @rcfp and @SPJ_NorCal.

Last week, SF police raided the home of a local reporter—apparently violating the state's journalist shield law. We—along with @rcfp and @SPJ_NorCal—are filing a motion to unseal the search warrants now being kept hidden from the public. https://t.co/t5FR6RCmJy

Maybe eventually this awful decision will get the Supreme Court to address right of publicity law for the first time in 40+ years. After all, Alabama did give us NY Times v. Sullivan. #lemonadeoutoflemons

In a surprising decision that has the potential to chill movies, TV shows, documentary films, and journalism, an Alabama judge is allowing a publicity rights suit over "S-Town" to move forward over First Amendment arguments. BREAKING: https://t.co/pGiSBHOUXj

Strange as it might sound, I've never published a concise primer about Section 230...until now. Get a sneak peek of my chapter summarizing Section 230 and comparing/contrasting it with some international rules https://t.co/wCLtlulrrt

Over and over, across the country, courts are coming to the same conclusion: public officials can't block constituents on Twitter because they don't agree with what they're saying. https://t.co/HKMlA0SKCi

[ABA Comm Forum @ABACommLawForum]

A recent piece for Communications Lawyer tackles a troubling trend — government suits against public record requesters. The article details recent cases across the country, counters arguments supporting these lawsuits, and proposes legislative solutions.

Rene Girard was one of my favorite college professors. It is great to see him getting so much attention now, even after his death.

[Arts & Letters Daily @aldaily]

Toward the end of his life, René Girard’s views darkened. “More than ever, I am convinced that history has meaning,” he wrote. “Its meaning is terrifying” https://t.co/j2s6kudBfO

Without this scholarship, I likely would not have had the incredible media law experiences I've enjoyed the past four years. I highly recommend applying for a scholarship to the @ABACommLawForum's Annual Conference.

Great pieces by @les_machado on the history of anti-SLAPP statutes in federal court, how the decisions by the D.C. Circuit and other courts finding they do not apply in federal court encourage forum shopping, and why a federal anti-SLAPP statute is needed — now more than ever. https://t.co/bvSZSzXUX5
