Academics at Vanderbilt Law have a blunt message: lawmakers should begin preparing now for a potential AI-driven shock, rather than scramble to piece together a response after the fact Today’s MM top from me and @YasminKhorram https://t.co/GA5wgUYA0v

I mean, how the hell is this even legal? Was it part of the contract that the seller is entitled to say “screw you and the money you've paid us, we're talking these weapons for ourselves”? https://t.co/lvVavbWUO5
As 'mega-RIAs' get bigger for growth, they're becoming a bigger target for lawsuits. Now a data breach incident isn't just a complaint for clients, it's a movement to band together and seek class-action status. Advocates have made the case that RIAs...

'Raising concerns' is putting it mildly. @AGJamesUthmeier said @NFL Rooney Rule "brazenly violates Florida law" and told the @nflcommish Goodell he faces enforcement action if he does not drop the hiring rule by May 1, 2026.
A will tells people what to do with your assets. A trust tells your assets what to do without needing anyone's permission. That's the difference most people miss.
For those tracking the landmark social media addiction jury verdicts, this may be a timely read from DCN’s Chris Pedigo on how this gets carried into legislation, good and bad, nuance matters. 1/2 https://t.co/xF0PTet2Wq
This is the right take. AI output is speech. The US government, from Federal to State to local, has little power to regulate it. You can probably address some harms via tort law (e.g., Meta's recent cases). But in the US...

We focus a lot on what DOJ is trying to force on blue states but what about the red states? What about red counties who are willing to collaborate with Trump's voter suppression schemes? We need to protect their voters...
Meta and Google lawyers had ample time to make their case. They lost for a reason. And smearing a victim like this is ugly, @TaylorLorenz

Hmmm.... @Kalshi & @Polymarket have dozens of prediction markets on whether or not Congress will pass certain laws.... Yet none on if Congress will advance laws, like the PREDICT Act or The Prediction Markets Are Gambling Act, that regulate prediction markets🤔...
Instagram and YouTube were found liable by a jury for their product design that damaged the mental health of a child who became addicted to the platforms. Meta and Google must pay $3M, in what is the first of thousands of...
the USPTO doesn't care how long you've been using your name. first come, first served for them. just saying.
Meta and YouTube just lost a landmark social media case in which a jury found them negligent. Now the question is how, if at all, these platforms change? https://t.co/JAjzgzH2NM
The announcement of Trump's PCAST council looks like a who's who of Silicon Valley, Zuckerberg, Huang, Brin, Su. But the most surprising detail to me: Oracle has two seats at a 13-person table. Larry Ellison and Safra Catz give Oracle more...
She's spot on about surveillance, but these massive invasions of privacy are not solely bc of lack of federal legislation to regulate AI, it's bc of lack of data privacy laws. AI is exacerbating all of this, but all the...

Today I learned about the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act In the United States, a manufacturer cannot legally void your warranty just because you used a third-party part or modification unless they can prove that your specific modification caused the failure you...
Good example on how the child harm legislation (KOSA) that Facebook fought to block was so bipartisan. Hawley and Markey. One more colorful. Both experts on the issue and protecting children. https://t.co/GYnuEyZDrv
Corruption is costly - Trump's antitrust choices are reshaping real estate, in a bad way. https://t.co/GTF4dsuUBb
Outside the LA courthouse parents who say social media addiction killed their children outline the policies they want to come as a result of this legal win: - Senate version of KOSA w/ strong duty of care - Reform/repeal Section 230 - Age...
They tried to silence me. They failed. Today, the court dismissed Richard Grenell’s lawsuit against me—with prejudice. This case was never about justice. It was about intimidation. Thank you to my attorneys, @markzaid and Tom Craig, and to everyone who stood by me...
Unsurprisingly, this new Voice of America lawsuit also was assigned to Judge Royce Lamberth. https://t.co/mhLFiZ9bJc

Usage-based pricing is the future of SaaS. It's also a sales tax compliance nightmare nobody warns you about. Here's the problem: Traditional subscriptions are simple for tax. Customer pays $99/month. Same price, same tax, same jurisdiction. Every month. Usage-based pricing? Complete opposite. Every transaction is...
And, the ACA banned individual guaranteed renewable plans which existed, and protected against the emergence of preexisting conditions. The tax deduction for employer based group plans, but not for contributions to portable individual plans nails the coffin. Great essay.
It's also just New Mexico. If it's the average then scaled to US pop it approaches $60 BILLION (italics=estimated). So a fine of approximately $805 per minor. Seems reasonable. Senator Blackburn shared Meta's internal analysis that their estimated...
Does it count if you quit a voluntary advisory panel that was already disbanded by a federal judge? The newly drama-averse Robert Malone tests this hypothesis. https://t.co/wEryoJvz99
