Fun to see our book out of stock at @OUPLaw! Yes, folks are interested in data sovereignty! (But can still download for free here: https://t.co/vJd6RpqdVi) With @haochensun.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthleticFC: Egypt’s goal against Argentina should never have been ruled out, a former referee writes. "Argentina’s collective failure to defend their goal because they allowed Ziko to run past them is not part of the decision-making process." https://t.co/AlmLb8xqLH

[AB⚕ @AbsoluteBruno]

This angle of that Egypt disallowed goal, I don’t still understand how this is a foul

[FIFA @FIFAcom]

The match officials for @FIFAWorldCup match 97 have been appointed. 🤝

[Anupam Chander @AnupamChander]

Were the rules applied evenly?

[Polymarket Sports @PolymarketSport]

🚨CONTROVERSIAL: VAR didn’t call this as a penalty OR a foul in the build up to Argentina’s 3rd goal…

…Egypt had an earlier goal ruled back for a foul in the build up

The social media ban in Bill C-34 causes harms both when it works and when it doesn’t. When it does not work, governments escalate enforcement demands leading to less privacy and more surveillance. When it works, it cuts young people off from the news.

"Northern Virginia’s “Data Center Alley” now processes roughly 70% of global internet traffic, state economic officials estimate."

This is incredible!!

BIS finally plans to (1) formally rescind the Diffusion Framework and (2) issue new rules "for the secure export of advanced AI chips."

Just realized why Belgium has passed long periods without a government--to avoid having a leader who meddles with FIFA.

Gov. JB Pritzker signs first-in-nation Illinois law requiring third-party safety audits for AI giants

Seven amazing new colleagues at Georgetown Law starting this month, including:

[Chris “Law Dork” Geidner @chrisgeidner]

BREAKING: The Supreme Court won't stop Texas from enforcing its age-verification and parental-consent mandate regarding mobile app downloads (Texas Senate Bill 2420) during litigation. There were no noted dissents.

[Ketan Ramakrishnan @ketanrama]

Grateful for this, and for the generous write-up, from @lsolum.

[Kate O'Keeffe @Kate_OKeeffe]

NEW: A federal judge ordered the Pentagon to give Alibaba a reprieve from a law that caused all of its lobbyists to drop it while she considers its constitutionality in a case set to test the ability of the US to restrict Chinese companies’ activities:

The '26 World Cup logo is the first to depict the actual trophy--an inexplicable choice given how odd the trophy looks.

Argentina 3, Cape Verde 2--Cape Verde wins.

[Michael Geist @mgeist]

Australia's under-16 social media ban has generated enough data to assess it and the results are consistent across studies: it hasn't worked. Yet Canada not only wants to copy it in Bill C-34, but it plans to drop the age verification privacy analysis.

After another, quieter, week of layoffs impacting local staff, the Washington Post has now laid off all of its reporters who have covered Gaza full time since 2023.

This is a choice about what coverage and whose voices matter.
