“Ultimately, lawmakers can dodge Groundhog Day doom by adopting “public-information campaign[s]” and digital literacy programs that help parents and minors understand and deploy myriad extant safety tools and options.” @ProfClayCalvert

Lawmakers can break free from their Groundhog Day-like repetitive cycle of statutory futility in regulating social media platforms by adopting their own public-information campaigns and digital literacy programs to help parents and minors better understand and deploy myriad extant online safety tools and options.

Clay Calvert’s latest: “Lessons From Arkansas: Social Media Addiction Legislation is Unconstitutional and Unnecessary” @ProfClayCalvert
https://t.co/UfuDxKpQBA
An April decision by a federal court in Arkansas illustrates why legislation designed to prevent the supposed scourge—moral panic?—of social media addiction is both unconstitutional and unwarranted. @ProfClayCalvert

Some thoughts today for @AEItech@AEICTSE re: @NetChoice victories in the Natural State . . . Lessons From Arkansas: Social Media Addiction Legislation is Unconstitutional and Unnecessary https://t.co/uNr6o1GNI6
As media hoopla over the $6 million March verdict in the K.G.M. social media addiction trial fades, it’s important to reflect on numerous problems with both the outcome and the logic behind the case. Those problems also should inform public policy about regulating social media platforms. @ProfClayCalvert

If a recent ruling by a federal judge holds up down the line, then words and actions taken by two former, high-ranking Trump officials—Pamela Bondi and Kristi Noem—will have exposed President Donald Trump’s administration to charges of free-speech hypocrisy. @ProfClayCalvert

My thoughts for @AEItech@AEICTSE on Rosado vs. Bondi ruling . . . Online Speech and Jawboning Hypocrisy: Does an Inglorious First Amendment Legacy Await Bondi and Noem? https://t.co/eVcRGdGHMg
ABC's refusal to quietly allow the federal government to dictate the range of viewpoints it may air without fear of retaliation is welcome and commendable. The Federal Communications Commission is not and cannot become the nation's censor-in-chief, as its Chairman once recognized.
The First Amendment will protect the private institutions that fight back against the executive branch's speech policing. FIRE will fight to keep the government from deciding for us what we are free to say, see, and hear.
New data from FIRE finds that Americans agree more than they realize on who should oversee social media use by children.
69% of Americans say parents — not social media companies or the government —should be trusted with that responsibility.
The Pentagon announced an agreement with several tech companies to use their AI tools within their systems. These companies include OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, SpaceX, and more.
Notably, Anthropic is absent from the list.
Just a few weeks ago, @ProfClayCalvert examined the Pentagon’s supply chain risk designation related to Anthropic. To catch up, start here: https://t.co/cinv3hh3FG
