How we Got Here, Where we Could Go Next. The host for this show is Phyllis Blees. The guest is Corynne McSherry. Our guest invites us into the world of cyberspace where creativity and innovation are thriving and sometimes thwarted. She brings us up to date on current efforts of the Electronic Frontier Foundation—the leading nonprofit digital rights group defending and promoting online civil liberties—to make sure technology serves freedom and justice around the world. She shares early threats to the free flow of creativity, innovation and knowledge that led to the creation of the EEF. She gives examples of publishing and copyright legal models that open or close the source of information flowing through the internet. We learn about the “Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace” and how to create a global digital environment that upholds both human rights and constitutional rights so the internet and new technologies can serve human creativity and innovation.

0:08 – The U.S. is erupting in protests against the police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Steven Taylor and many more. Thousands of people joined marches, uprisings and a car caravan on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Oakland. Police departments across the country have responded with brutal and excessive force against demonstrators, and onlookers have recorded several instances of vehicles driven into crowds of protesters. Cat Brooks debriefs the protests with Patrisse Cullors, political strategist, co-founder of Black Lives Matter & founder of Reform LA Jails, and Andrea Ritchie (@dreanyc123), a New York-based police misconduct attorney and organizer. Ritchie is the author of Invisible No More: Police Violence Against Black Women and Women of Color. 0:34 – We take calls about what people witnessed in protests across the Bay Area. 1:08 – Alicia Garza is an activist, writer and co-founder of Black Lives Matter, currently organizing with Black Futures Lab and the National Domestic Workers Alliance. She discusses the protests for George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, as well as the calls for Joe Biden to select a Black woman as his vice president pick. She cowrote the Washington Post op ed, “Biden still needs black women. Here are 3 things he needs to do.” 1:34 – As protests began to erupt, President Trump issued an executive order as a rebuke to Twitter's attempt to curb Trump's violent tweeting. The executive order pertains to Section 230, part of U.S. law that shields tech and social media websites from liability for content posted on the platforms. We host a discussion with Electronic Frontier Foundation legal director Corynne McSherry (@cmcsherr) and attorney Carrie Goldberg (@cagoldberglaw). The post Protests against racist police violence explode across U.S. demanding justice for Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Steven Taylor & Tony McDade — a debrief with Patrisse Cullors, Andrea Ritchie and Alicia Garza appeared first on KPFA.

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Corynne McSherry, the Legal Director for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), to discuss content moderation on big social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.   Aaron and Corynne address the issues of digital rights, how private companies like Facebook can censor content without implicating the First Amendment, and how transparency is so important as social media platforms come under increasing scrutiny for the content policies and practices.  EFF, a prominent digital rights non-profit, has been integrally involved in these issues, focusing on impact litigation around such issues as intellectual property, open access, and digital rights, among others.  Corynne and Aaron discuss the big concerns surrounding content moderation – Who should decide what we see? What speech can be regulated? Is it censorship? How can speech be regulated?   As always, we do not edit the content of our episodes.  Our conversation is as it was!  So, give a listen and let us know what you think.     Host: Aaron Freiwald Guest: Corynne McSherry Find Corynne’s contact information here as well as more on the EFF.   Follow Good Law | Bad Law: YouTube: Good Law | Bad Law Instagram: @GoodLawBadLaw Website: https://www.law-podcast.com

Should social media companies voluntarily adopt First Amendment free speech principles to govern speech and content posted and shared on their platforms? Is the First Amendment the best tool to combat challenges such as hate speech, disinformation, and other harmful content, or should carefully considered laws or internationally-focused policies be used to tackle these challenges? Is the problem too much, or not enough, regulation? Four experts explored these questions in a live Intelligence Squared Debate hosted at the National Constitution Center. The motion for debate was: “Constitutional Free Speech Principles Can Save Social Media Companies from Themselves.” Arguing for the motion was David French, senior writer for the National Review, and Corynne McSherry, legal director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Arguing against the motion was Marietje Schaake, a Dutch politician and member of European Parliament, and Nate Persily, a professor at Stanford Law. John Donvan, Emmy Award-winning correspondent for ABC News, hosts. Questions or comments about the podcast? Email us at podcast@constitutioncenter.org.

With David French, Corynne McSherry, Nathaniel Persily, and Marietje Schaake How should the world's largest social media companies respond to a pernicious online climate, including hate speech and false content posted by users? For some, the answer is clear: Take the fake and offensive content down. But for others, censorship - even by a private company - is dangerous in a time when digital platforms have become the new public square and many Americans cite Facebook and Twitter as their primary news sources. Rather than embracing European hate speech laws or developing platform-specific community standards that are sometimes seen as partisan, they argue, social media companies should voluntarily adopt the First Amendment and block content only if it violates American law. Should First Amendment doctrine govern free speech online? Or are new, more internationally focused speech policies better equipped to handle the modern challenges of regulating content and speech in the digital era?  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Senate will begin hearings on D.C. Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court immediately after Labor Day.  The nomination is mired in controversy after Republicans insisted in 2016 that it was improper to consider a nominee so close to an election and are now trying to push the nomination through without permitting a proper vetting of his record.The EFF's Camille Fischer, Corynne McSherry and Shahid Buttar recently published “Questioning Kavanaugh About Digital Privacy and Net Neutrality.”Camille Fischer joins us to talk about the Kavanaugh nomination which the San Jose Mercury has called Kavanaugh's nomination a “disaster for the technology industry and the users of tech products.”  See Is Judge Kavanaugh a “Disaster” For Tech?, Cyber Report.Now, with Michael Cohen's guilty plea implicating President Trump and raising questions about the legitimacy of the Trump presidency, Democrats have found a new line of attack against the nomination.I have cancelled my meeting with Judge Kavanaugh. @realDonaldTrump, who is an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal matter, does not deserve the courtesy of a meeting with his nominee—purposely selected to protect, as we say in Hawaii, his own okole.

Should you be able to say and do whatever you want online? And if not, who should police this? More Perfect hosts a debate at WNYC's Jerome L.

This session will include updates on current EFF issues such as surveillance online and fighting efforts to use intellectual property claims to shut down free speech and halt innovation, discussion of our technology project to protect privacy and speech online, updates on cases and legislation affecting security research, and much more. Half the session will be given over to question-and-answer, so it's your chance to ask EFF questions about the law and technology issues that are important to you. Kurt Opsahl is the Deputy Executive Director and General Counsel of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. In addition to representing clients on civil liberties, free speech and privacy law, Opsahl counsels on EFF projects and initiatives. Opsahl is the lead attorney on the Coders' Rights Project.

Arribasoft, MGM v. Grokster and CoStar v. LoopNet. For his work responding to government subpoenas, Opsahl is proud to have been called a "rabid dog" by the Department of Justice. Prior to Perkins, Opsahl was a research fellow to Professor Pamela Samuelson at the U.C. Berkeley School of Information Management & Systems. Opsahl received his law degree from Boalt Hall, and undergraduate degree from U.C. Santa Cruz. Opsahl co-authored "Electronic Media and Privacy Law Handbook."

Peter Eckersley is Technology Projects Director for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. He leads a team of technologists who watch for technologies that, by accident or design, pose a risk to computer users' freedoms—and then look for ways to fix them. They write code to make the Internet more secure, more open, and safer against surveillance and censorship. They explain gadgets to lawyers and policymakers, and law and policy to gadgets. Peter's work at EFF has included privacy and security projects such as the Let's Encrypt CA, Panopticlick, HTTPS Everywhere, SSDI, and the SSL Observatory; helping to launch a movement for open wireless networks; fighting to keep modern computing platforms open; and running the first controlled tests to confirm that Comcast was using forged reset packets to interfere with P2P protocols. Peter holds a PhD in computer science and law from the University of Melbourne; his research focused on the practicality and desirability of using alternative compensation systems to legalize P2P file sharing and similar distribution tools while still paying authors and artists for their work. He is an affiliate of the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University. Nadia Kayyali is a member of EFF’s activism team. Nadia's work focuses on surveillance, national security policy, and the intersection of criminal justice, racial justice, and digital civil liberties issues.

March 11, 2014. Several foreign countries have laws that address mass digitization in different ways. Speakers discussed the option of extended collective licensing for purposes of mass digitization in detail and whether the United States should look abroad to foreign extended collective licensing approaches for ideas on domestic action on the issue of mass digitization.

March 11, 2014. Although mass digitization was ongoing in 2008, the practice has since become much more prevalent. Thus, it is important to understand how mass digitization fits into an orphan works solution. Because many of the comments submitted in response to the Notice indicated that the issue of mass digitization should be treated separately from the issue of orphan works, it also is important to understand whether mass digitization fits into an orphan works solution. The Copyright Office discussed the intersection of mass digitization and orphan works at the public roundtable meetings, the types of digitization projects that should be covered by any legislative proposal, the relative risks and benefits of mass digitization projects, the types of entities that might be able to engage in such activities under any legislative proposal, and the types or categories of works that should be covered. Karyn Temple Claggett, Catherine Rowland, Frank Muller, Jan Constantine, Jonathan Band, June Besek, Richard Burgess, Michael W. Carroll, Blane Dessy, Melissa Levine, Andrew McDiarmid, Corynne McSherry, Mickey Osterreicher, Brooke Penrose, Janice T. Pilch, Leah Prescott, Jerker Ryden and Ben Sheffner.
