This Week In Techdirt History: April 21st – 27th
2024-04-27 22:06 Leigh Beadon
Five Years Ago This week in 2019, another attempt to hold Twitter responsible for terrorist attacks was tossed out of court (but it didn’t stop the trend of rushing to blame social media for every tragedy) while we got a look behind the scenes of how Facebook dealt with the Christchurch shooting. Another Hollywood company […]
LittleBigPlanet: Now You Don’t Own What You’ve Created, Either
2024-04-27 05:39 Dark Helmet
For several years now, we’ve had a running series of posts discussing how, when it comes to digital goods, you often don’t own what you’ve bought. This ugliness shows up with all kinds of content, including purchased movies, books, and shows on digital platforms. But it has reared its head acutely as of late in […]

Florida Appeals Court Says The Right To Record Extends To Phone Calls With Cops
2024-04-26 23:34 Tim Cushing
Well, this ought to prompt another round of police-protecting legislation in Florida. Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed two bills into law — one that creates a 25-foot “no go” zone around police officers and one that strips police oversight boards of their independence. And that’s on top of the immediate effort made by the legislature […]
Court Dismisses Mark Zuckerberg Personally From Massive ‘Social Media Addicts Children’ Lawsuit
2024-04-26 22:06 Mike Masnick
Over the last few years, there have been a ton of lawsuits, pretty much all of them dubious, arguing that social media is inherently harmful to children (something the research does not show) and that therefore there is some sort of magic product liability claim that will hold social media companies responsible. A bunch of […]
Net Neutrality Is Back! For Now.
2024-04-26 20:45 Karl Bode
The FCC on Thursday once again voted along party lines to restore popular net neutrality rules stripped away during the Trump administration in a flurry of protest and sleazy industry behavior. You might recall the 2017 repeal was so unpopular that telecom giants were caught using fake and dead people to create the illusion of […]

Biden Bans The App His Campaign Insists Is An Important Place To Talk To Voters
2024-04-26 19:20 Mike Masnick
Apparently TikTok is so evil and pernicious that it must be banned from the United States… and so useful that the man who signed the ban, President Joe Biden, made sure to post a few new videos to the platform. It feels like maybe his concerns are a bit overblown? It seems that TikTok users […]
People Are Slowly Realizing Their Auto Insurance Rates Are Skyrocketing Because Their Car Is Covertly Spying On Them
2024-04-26 15:21 Karl Bode
Last month the New York Times’ Kashmir Hill published a major story on how GM collects driver behavior data then sells access (through LexisNexis) to insurance companies, which will then jack up your rates. The absolute bare minimum you could could expect from the auto industry here is that they’re doing this in a way that’s clear to car […]
Flynn Family’s SLAPP Suit Against CNN Slapped Down By Judge
2024-04-26 06:05 Mike Masnick
MAGA SLAPP suits apparently aren’t going out of style, but yet another one has been tossed out of court. Remember lawyer Steven Biss? He was the grand filer of tons of SLAPP suits for the MAGA crowd against media outlets. He had quite a losing streak, with nearly all of those cases failing. Last fall, […]
Two Decades Of Content In ‘Garry’s Mod’ Taken Down, Possibly By Nintendo Impersonator
2024-04-26 01:31 Dark Helmet
The capricious nature of Nintendo’s IP enforcement practices are, if you’re a regular reader here, quite legendary. In this case, however, it seems like Nintendo’s reputation is what played a part in some copyright fuckery, rather than the company engaging in said fuckery itself. If you’re not familiar with Garry’s Mod, then you obviously weren’t […]
French Collection Society Wants A Tax On Generative AI, Payable To Collection Societies
2024-04-25 23:50 Mike Masnick
Back in October last year, Walled Culture wrote about a proposed law in France that would see a tax imposed on AI companies, with the proceeds being paid to a collecting society. Now that the EU’s AI Act has been adopted, it is being invoked as another reason why just such a system should be set […]
Ninth Circuit: 5th Amendment Doesn’t Cover Compelled Production Of Fingerprints To Unlock A Phone
2024-04-25 22:02 Tim Cushing
As case law continues to be developed, it continues to look as though the best way to hold onto your Fifth Amendment rights is to secure your devices with a passcode. There’s no solid consensus at this point, and the Supreme Court has yet to set precedent, but unless law enforcement really screws up while […]
The Problems Of The NCMEC CyberTipline Apply To All Stakeholders
2024-04-25 20:46 Mike Masnick
The failures of the NCMEC CyberTipline to combat child sexual abuse material (CSAM) as well as it could are extremely frustrating. But as you look at the details, you realize there just aren’t any particularly easy fixes. While there are a few areas that could improve things at the margin, the deeper you look, the […]

Our Online Child Abuse Reporting System Is Overwhelmed, Because The Incentives Are Screwed Up & No One Seems To Be Able To Fix Them
2024-04-25 19:29 Mike Masnick
The system meant to stop online child exploitation is failing — and misaligned incentives are to blame. Unfortunately, today’s political solutions, like KOSA and STOP CSAM, don’t even begin to grapple with any of this. Instead, they prefer to put in place solutions that could make the incentives even worse. The Stanford Internet Observatory has […]
Apple Vision Pro Sales Slow To A Trickle Despite Months Of Gushing Tech Press Hype
2024-04-25 15:30 Karl Bode
When the Apple Vision Pro launched back in February, the press had a sustained, two-month straight orgasm over the product’s potential to transform VR and the world of spatial computing. Downplayed were little sticking points like the lack of app support; the short battery life (despite a bulky external battery pack Steve Jobs would have […]
Italian Government Says Carmaker Can’t Make Its “Milano” Vehicle Outside Of Italy
2024-04-25 06:07 Dark Helmet
There seems to be something rather specific when it comes to the current Italian government when it comes to strong-arming commerce over a protective stance on Italian cultural touchstones. This has traditionally expressed itself mostly in the food and drinks categories of commerce. Wines are particularly of note here, with several recent examples of Italy […]
Universal Music’s Copyright Claim: 99 Problems And Fair Use Ain’t One
2024-04-25 01:39 Mike Masnick
Welp, sometimes you gotta read Techdirt fast, or you just might miss something. And sometimes it’s because Universal Music is acting to silence creativity yet again. Yesterday, we posted about how Dustin Ballard, the creative genius behind There I Ruined It, who makes very funny parody songs, had posted a lengthy disclaimer on his latest […]
