“A benefit of the internet economy has been the business model of large platform operators opening up their systems to a wide range of customers, in most cases at approximately equivalent quality. I can negotiate access to and use of the same Microsoft Cloud and Microsoft 365 capabilities as the largest government or corporate provider. While prices and volumes may differ, the services provided are essentially the same.”

Can we verify age online without giving up our privacy?
@ShaneTews was joined by Scott Vien, Harry Oppenheimer, and Paul Lekas on #ExplaintoShane to talk about this. Catch the highlights of their conversation here:

“It’s a given that the emergence of new communications technologies outpaces the development of statutes and judicial opinions affecting their use and regulation. For instance, it wasn’t until August that the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York City finally recognized a First Amendment right to use video recording technologies to film law enforcement officials doing their jobs in public.” @ProfClayCalvert

Nearly 19K attacks on critical communications infrastructure in a single year.
On @AEItech's #ExplainToShane podcast, NCTA's Sam Love discusses the growing threat of network vandalism and what providers are doing to protect America's networks.

Justice Antonin Scalia’s now 15-year-old majority opinion in the violent video game case of Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association stands as a formidable bulwark against the temptations of today’s lawmakers and litigators to erode First Amendment safeguards for new communications technologies.

“The Meta case failed because the FTC clung to a static vision in a world of constant change.”
