I'm thankful this bi-partisan group of lawmakers has put a federal anti-SLAPP bill forward. It is desperately needed. SLAPP lawsuits are a growing threat.
Yet, I have no faith this or any law that legitimately benefits the flow of ideas will pass any time soon.

This Bill Could Put A Stop To Censorship By Lawsuit
SLAPPs aren’t designed to win on the merits, but rather to harass journalists, activists, and consumers into silence by suing them over their protected speech. The Free Speech Protection Act would sec...

I just presented the 33rd Golden Gavel Award to the student with the highest grade going into the final in my undergraduate communication law course this fall.
The Golden Gavel, which is actually a poorly spray-painted rubber mallet, is the Oscar of comm. law awards.

I’ve been thinking about this. I teach and research free expression, but I left Twitter in 2022. Am I against free expression?
My answer has been no. I’m not calling for these spaces to be regulated by the government.
I’m making a personal choice to not be a part of that space for discourse.

If you're new here, the block tools are amazing and you should use them.
Nuclear blocking trolls is not withdrawing from the marketplace of ideas. Anyone telling you that is probably still invested in the Bad Place, or at least trying to port that sensibility here.

This quote sort of brought out of my subconscious all the times I've thought about Hannah Arendt lately.
If you're looking for a history of 2024-2028, pick up Origins of Totalitarianism and read her description of Adolf Eichmann in Eichmann in Jerusalem.

John Oliver implores the Senate to pass the PRESS Act! It's already passed the House unanimously.
It would protect journalists across the political spectrum from spying and the threat of jail time for doing their jobs.

New, by me: U.S. senators have just a few weeks left to vote on the PRESS Act, a bipartisan federal "shield" law that protects journalists from giving up their sources, and more.
The House passed the bill unanimously(!) in January; it just needs a final Senate vote.

Welcome new followers. I post very little-but I think about your posts even when I don’t comment.
When I do post, it’s awkward. Usually about free expression and emerging technologies.
I’m glad we’re building a new community here.

Agree. No one should bring more attention to Maury Blackman's lawsuit against an independent journalist for reporting accurate information about his arrest.
No one should talk about how Maury Blackman is suing an independent journalist for $25 million for reporting accurately that he'd been arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, even though journalists are entitled to publish documents they lawfully obtained www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...
