This Day in Legal History: 13th Amendment PassedOn January 31, 1865, the U.S. Congress passed the 13th Amendment, formally abolishing slavery in the United States. The amendment declared that "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." While President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation had freed enslaved people in Confederate-held territories two years earlier, it lacked the permanence of a constitutional amendment. The House of Representatives passed the measure by a vote of 119 to 56, narrowly reaching the required two-thirds majority after intense political maneuvering. The Senate had already approved it in April 1864. Ratification by the states followed, culminating in its adoption on December 6, 1865. The amendment marked a legal end to slavery, but systemic racial discrimination persisted through Black Codes, Jim Crow laws, and other restrictive measures. Despite this, the 13th Amendment laid the foundation for future civil rights advancements. Its passage was a key victory for abolitionists and a defining moment of the Civil War's aftermath. The amendment's "punishment for crime" clause later became a subject of controversy, as it allowed convict leasing and forced labor in prisons, disproportionately affecting Black Americans. Even today, debates continue over its implications for the U.S. prison system.Fox Rothschild LLP has blocked its lawyers from using DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, due to concerns about client data security. While the firm allows AI tools like ChatGPT with restrictions, DeepSeek's data storage in China raises unique risks, according to Mark G. McCreary, the firm's chief AI and information security officer. A recent data breach involving DeepSeek further heightened security concerns. Other major law firms, including Wilson Sonsini and Polsinelli, are also implementing strict vetting processes for new AI models. Wilson Sonsini requires its chief information security officer and general counsel to approve AI tools before use, while Polsinelli enforces firm-wide restrictions on unapproved AI software. Law firms are also monitoring AI use by third-party vendors to ensure compliance with security protocols. McCreary emphasized that established legal tech companies prioritize data protection, reducing the risk of firms switching to less secure AI models.Fox Rothschild Blocks DeepSeek's AI Model for Attorney UseA federal appeals court has ruled that the U.S. government's ban on licensed firearms dealers selling handguns to adults under 21 is unconstitutional. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a previous ruling, citing the Supreme Court's 2022 decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which requires modern gun laws to align with historical firearm regulations. The federal ban, enacted in 1968, was challenged by young adults and gun rights groups, who argued it violated the Second Amendment. Judge Edith Jones, writing for the court, found insufficient historical evidence to justify restricting gun sales for 18-to-20-year-olds. The ruling marks a major shift in gun policy, aligning with broader legal trends expanding Second Amendment protections. The Justice Department, which defended the ban under the Biden administration, has not yet commented on the decision. Gun rights advocates hailed the ruling as a victory against age-based firearm restrictions.US ban on gun sales to adults under age 21 is unconstitutional, court rules | ReutersIn a piece for Techdirt, Karl Bode critiques the Trump FCC's decision to roll back efforts to curb exclusive broadband deals between landlords and internet providers. The Biden FCC had attempted to update outdated rules that allowed ISPs to form monopolies within apartment buildings, driving up prices and reducing competition. However, due to delays caused by industry opposition and the failed nomination of reformer Gigi Sohn, key proposals—including a ban on bulk billing—were left unapproved. When Brendan Carr took over as FCC chair under Trump, he quickly scrapped these pending consumer protections. Bode argues that U.S. telecom policy is stuck in a cycle where Democrats make half-hearted attempts at reform, only for Republicans to dismantle them entirely under the guise of deregulation. The result is a landscape where telecom giants and landlords continue to collude, leaving consumers with fewer choices, higher costs, and poor service.The Trump FCC Makes It Easier For Your Landlord And Your ISP To Collude To Rip You Off | TechdirtBally's Chicago casino project is facing a legal challenge over its commitment to reserving 25% of its investment opportunities for women and people of color. Conservative activist Edward Blum, known for spearheading lawsuits against affirmative action, filed the suit on behalf of two white men who claim they were unfairly excluded from investing. The lawsuit argues that the policy violates federal civil rights law and should be open to all investors regardless of race. This case is part of a broader push against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, which gained momentum after a recent executive order from President Trump eliminating DEI programs in the federal government. Bally's maintains that its agreement with the city complies with legal requirements. The lawsuit references an 1866 civil rights law originally meant to protect Black Americans' economic rights and is similar to other cases challenging race-conscious corporate policies. Blum's organization has previously led legal battles against diversity-focused scholarships, grants, and hiring programs, including the Supreme Court case that struck down race-based college admissions in 2023.America's Battle Over DEI Strikes a Chicago Casino's Financing PlanThis week's closing theme is by Franz Schubert.Franz Schubert, one of the most beloved composers of the early Romantic era, was born on this day in 1797 in Vienna, Austria. Though he lived only 31 years, his vast output of music—ranging from symphonies and chamber works to piano music and over 600 songs—continues to inspire musicians and audiences alike. Schubert's music is often characterized by its lyricism, rich harmonies, and deep emotional expression, seamlessly bridging the clarity of the Classical era with the passion of Romanticism.Despite his immense talent, Schubert struggled with financial stability and never achieved widespread fame during his lifetime. He spent much of his career composing in relative obscurity, supported by a close-knit circle of friends and fellow artists. His songs, or lieder, are especially celebrated for their ability to capture both the beauty and melancholy of the human experience, with works like Erlkönig and Winterreise standing as some of the greatest achievements in the genre.His instrumental music, however, remained underappreciated until long after his death. Today, his symphonies, string quartets, and piano sonatas are recognized as masterpieces, filled with lyrical beauty and striking contrasts. Among his later works, the Piano Sonata No. 20 in A major, D. 959 showcases his mature style, blending elegance with deep introspection. The final movement, Rondo: Allegretto, serves as this week's closing theme, capturing both Schubert's charm and his poignant sense of longing.Though he died in 1828, just a year after Beethoven, Schubert's influence only grew in the decades that followed. Composers like Schumann, Brahms, and even Mahler admired his work, helping to cement his legacy as one of music's great geniuses. Today, on the anniversary of his birth, we celebrate the life and music of a composer who, despite facing struggles and setbacks, left behind an extraordinary body of work that continues to resonate across centuries.Without further ado, Franz Schubert's Piano Sonata No. 20 in A major, D. 959.  This is a public episode.

In Berkeley Talks episode 200, Gigi Sohn, one of the nation's leading public advocates for equal access to the internet, delivers the keynote address at the UC Berkeley School of Information's 2024 commencement ceremony. “I'd like to share with you some of the twists and turns of my professional journey as a public advocate in the world of communications and technology policy,” Sohn began at the May 18 event. … “I'm hoping that by sharing my story, you'll be inspired to keep choosing the path that you know is right for you and for society, even if it sometimes comes at a cost.”Sohn began her story in the late 1980s, when she started a career in communications law. It was through this work, she said, that she learned the importance of media to a healthy democracy. “Those with access to the [communications] networks influenced the debates that shaped public policy and decided elections,” Sohn said. “Those without were simply perilous. The internet promised to change all of that. … The world that advocates like me envisioned was one where everyone would have a voice and where the marketplace of ideas, and ultimately democracy, would flourish. “But that ideal wouldn't happen by itself.”In her speech, Sohn detailed her lifelong career as a public interest advocate, her fraught White House nominations to serve on the Federal Communications Commission and the importance of staying true to herself.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts).Photo by Noah Berger for UC Berkeley's School of Information.Music by Blue Dot Sessions.

Gigi Sohn is an attorney and public advocate. She's served on the FCC in the past, and when she was nominated by Joe Biden many of us were thrilled. She's been a leader, especially when it comes to issues like Net Neutrality, for many years. A right-wing smear campaign followed her nomination, and after three hearings, each more absurd than the last, she had to withdraw. It's tragic she's not currently at the FCC, the good news though, she has a new project that dare I say is pretty exciting. Tech policy wonks, rejoice!

Gigi Sohn, executive director of the American Association for Public Broadband (AAPB), spoke to Light Reading about municipal broadband networks in the US, including why and where they're popping up the most, where the biggest success stories are, and how her organization is working to defend against efforts by incumbent providers and "dark money" groups to derail community networks. Interview conducted by Light Reading contributor Diana Blass. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of Connected Nation, we complete our coverage of the US Broadband Summit taking place in Washington, DC.Among our guests: Quinn Jordan, who founded the Mississippi Broadband Association; Donald Long Knife who built broadband access from the ground up for his tribe in Montana; and Gigi Sohn, who has a long history of public service, including with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC),  co-founding Public Knowledge, and  now leading the American Association for Public Broadband as its Executive Director.  Related links:U.S. Broadband Summit website - https://www.usbroadbandsummit.com/

If you didn't know who Gigi Sohn was before her stalled-out FCC nomination and the ridiculous smear campaign that came with it, you surely do by now. And if you read Techdirt, you know she's one of the most experienced and passionate experts around when it comes to broadband. This week, she returns to the podcast after quite some time to discuss her new role at the American Association for Public Broadband and the fight for more community-owned broadband in the US.

May 2022 witnessed something remarkable: the birth of a new nonprofit advocacy organization whose sole purpose was to speak up for the hundreds of communities that have built municipal broadband networks, and the thousands more that want to but don't know where to start. Now, the American Association for Public Broadband has named as its Executive Director as Gigi Sohn, former Biden nominee to the Federal Communications Commission. And she's ready to get to work.  ★ Support this podcast ★

Elon Musk trying to build the "everything app" is ridiculous, and the quiet little promise openAI just made with the White House.

On May 22, A former NTIA figure who in January became a Senior Advisor for International Information and Communications Policy at the U.S. State Department was officially nominated by President Joe Biden to serve as a FCC Commissioner.For Anna Gomez, the path to being sworn in as the fifth Commission could be smoother than that for the polarizing Gigi Sohn, the individual the White House stuck with and ultimately withdrew due to her controversial tweets and past experience as a lobbyist. What is the chatter, if any, in Washington right now concerning Gomez, and when a confirmation hearing is expected?That's the first of several timely questions surrounding Gomez's future, and that of the FCC, asked by RBR+TVBR Editor-in-Chief Adam R Jacobson to Marc Martin, a partner and firmwide chair of the communications industry group at Perkins Coie, in this InFOCUS Podcast, presented by dot.FM.

Gigi Sohn is a long-time public interest lawyer who spent the last 20 years advocating for policies that ensure that modern communications networks are robust, affordable and available to everyone. She also served as Counselor to former FCC Chair Tom Wheeler and was nominated twice by President Biden to occupy the 5th seat on the FCC. However, after 3 brutal Senate hearings, she withdrew her nomination. In this interview, she gives her take on where we stand in this country with regard to Internet connectivity, federal oversight of the Internet, pay to play politics, monopoly control, and directions for the future.

Gigi Sohn, President Biden's former nominee for FCC Commissioner, joins the podcast to discuss her nomination process, and what it says about dark money in politics and the industry at large. We also discuss what her most urgent goals would have been as FCC Commissioner, the state of the FCC's broadband map as it relates to the $42.5 billion Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program, her concerns about the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) running dry, how she hopes to reframe the public broadband debate and much more.*This conversation was recorded before President Biden nominated Anna Gomez to serve as FCC Commissioner on May 22.The unedited audio transcript is available in the media player of this episode page. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In 2014-15, a broad social movement won net neutrality, but that victory was taken away by the chair of the Federal Communications Commission, Ajit Pai, under the Trump administration. President Biden, promising to restore net neutrality, appointed a favorable chairperson, Gigi Sohn, but his administration and Democrats in Congress failed to defend her from a successful attack by the Telecommunications industry. Clearing the FOG speaks with Evan Greer, director of Fight for the Future, about the current campaign to push for a new FCC commissioner, what is behind the assault on Tik Tok, including a dangerous piece of legislation called the RESTRICT Act, and how corporations are using facial recognition technology for their own agendas.

Gigi Sohn said it is a "sad day for our country and our democracy when dominant industries, with assistance from unlimited dark money, get to choose their regulators.”

-Wells Fargo and other financial shadiness. What's really going on? -Gigi Sohn's nomination withdrawal and the future of Net Neutrality. -Why the TikTok ban would be REALLY bad.

Hey everybody, I'm Joe Miller and here's what's going on in the world of tech law & policy this week. Alfred Ng over at Politico reports that the police can obtain Ring camera footage without your permission. All they need is a warrant. But don't worry – they will be nice. They will call you instead of knocking on your door.  If you don't give them the footage, Ring will also contact you. If you still don't give them the footage, well, I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to find out what happens after that!   And getting  a warrant is the least intrusive way to gain access. San Francisco recently passed an ordinance allowing police access to live Ring camera footage.  – Should the U.S. ban TikTok in the U.S.? The younger you are, the more likely you are to say, “No.” But lawmakers across the aisle want the app banned, citing security and propaganda concerns about the fact that its parent company, ByteDance, is based in China, and China has way more control over its corporations than the U.S.  But in yet another deadlock in Washington, the Biden administration hasn't acted, the Commerce Department hasn't acted, and neither has Congress. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS) has engaged nine agencies in an investigation, but it has taken years to get that completed.   Neither Democrats nor Republicans want to be the ones to anger GenZ and suburban moms. And a ton of TikTok accounts are run by politicians.    There's been  discussion about Oracle handling all U.S. TikTok data in the U.S. But engineers in Beijing will still have access.   –   House Republicans are lining up in support of Elon Musk, as Cat Zakrzewski reports in the Washington Post.    House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan released an 18-page report attacking the Federal Trade Commission's investigation of the platform, calling it a “harassment campaign” against Elon Musk.. The FTC began re-investigating Twitter last year, before Musk acquired Twitter, about a possible breach of its 2011 consent decree to improve privacy practices.    The privacy loophole in your doorbell Police were investigating his neighbor.

More layoffs are coming to Meta, and President Biden's pick for the FCC, Gigi Sohn, drops out of the running. As the FTC investigates his company and the wheels literally come off at Tesla, Elon Musk publicly picks (and loses) a fight with an employee. Also, newly-revealed texts from Fox News hosts could be a legal headache.

In the second hour of The Vince Coglianese Show, Vince speaks with Congressman Andy Biggs (AZ 5) about the revelation of Tucker's January 6th videos and his thoughts on Dr. Fauci suppressing the lab leak theory. Biden's nominee for FCC Chair Gigi Sohn withdraws her nomination. Vince reminds listeners of Sohn's ridiculous policy positions. The DC Police of Chief is begging for sanity when it comes to the city's crime bill. Even Muriel Bowser notices the council is more concerned with perpetrators than victims.   For more coverage on the issues that matter to you visit www.WMAL.com, download the WMAL app or tune in live on WMAL-FM 105.9 from 3-6pm.   To join the conversation, check us out on social media: @WMAL @VinceCoglianese See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Senate has confirmed 100 judges nominated by President Joe Biden since he took office. Democrats are celebrating the diverse backgrounds of the judges, while Republicans express concern about their competence. Federal Communications Commission board nominee Gigi Sohn appeared at a Senate committee hearing for the third time on Feb. 14. She was met with strong opposition from Senate Republicans. A poll from the American Principles Project shows the culture war is going to be a critical battleground in 2024. It shows Republican voters in the presidential primary are most likely to support candidates tackling things related to critical race theory and gender ideology. Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project, joined the show to analyze the results. ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

David Waldman awakens again under the cloud of yet another page formatting crisis. Also, more people died in another mass shooting, but who knows how to fix that? Today is the day to get shot with tiny little Eros arrows, in a bacchanal of love, literature, learning, languages, and linguistics. (Offer void in FL.)  It's probably not a good time to be flitting about in the air anyhow. Cro-Magnon Emma Frost, Marjorie Traitor Greene wonders why, if only 3 out of 4 planes on 9/11 killed people on the ground, why wouldn't Joe Biden shoot down that balloon? It's not a good time to stick around in Russia. The US is telling American citizens that it's time to get out of there. Anna Paulina Luna... you can call her "Mayerhofer” if you want. Anna can be “Ashkenazi”, she can be “Nazi”, whatever works best (For her.) You can even call her “Karen”. Just don't call her “George Santos”, because that would probably be a lie. Anti-Liberalism is the new Unification Church. Joan McCarter tells us that Joe Biden handed the GQP a shovel and they can't stop hitting themselves in the head with it. Republicans promise to stay away from Social Security and Medicare, until after they get rid of everything else. Twice, Gigi Sohn has been confirmed to be qualified for the FCC, hopefully this third time they will confirm her to the position.

Last GYNOWR of 2022!  -Historic Starbucks Strike -Elon's Twitter Banning Spree -The Year in Antitrust

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is currently short a commissioner, and the Biden Administration and Senate Democrats just can't seem to get that seat filled despite having nominated an amazingly qualified person. Her name is Gigi Sohn. The inability to get Gigi confirmed at the FCC has left the commission deadlocked with two Democrats and two Republicans. That means the commission in charge of regulating all telecom in the United States, including how you get your internet service, is unable to get much done. The Biden administration can't accomplish some of its biggest policy priorities like rural broadband and restoring net neutrality. President Biden first nominated Gigi Sohn to the FCC over a year ago, but the full Senate vote to confirm her just hasn't happened. We've been digging into the story for a few months now, trying to figure out what's going on here, and we found a simple but really frustrating answer… Links: Gigi Sohn Author Profile - The Verge  Comcast trying to “torpedo” Biden FCC pick Gigi Sohn, advocacy group says The Slime Machine Targeting Dozens of Biden Nominees Attempted acquisition of Tribune Media by Sinclair Broadcast Group The Vergecast: Net neutrality was repealed a year ago.
