The times, they are a-changing. The balance of power in the perhaps eternal battle between the experts and the masses has been shifting starkly, even wildly, with the former losing and the latter gaining clout. That’s been most visible in the series of announcements and selfies emanating from the gaudy precincts of Mar-a-Lago. The experts…

And when industry business models thrive on luring minors, they have every reason to be paranoid of the Kids Online Safety Act. That bill has been one of the most clamored-for pieces of legislation in the 118th Congress. Designed as…

Courts are increasingly asked to “apply long-standing First Amendment principles to somewhat novel facts” involving digital social media.
