¿Ignora el veto a las redes sociales la complejidad tecnológica actual? Frente a propuestas más propias del debate y la propaganda política debemos empezar a tratar a los jóvenes como sujetos activos, titulares de derechos. Mi artículo de hoy para @agendapublica.es agendapublica.es/noticia/2085...

The great and irrepetible Monroe Price left us one hour ago. Both professionally and personally it is very difficult to imagine a world where Monroe is not around and cannot be reached. He was a mentor and a friend. We went to many places. We did many things. We had fun.

Llamar "bebelejía" a los antivacunas no el discurso de odio, del mismo modo que no lo son muchísimas otras cosas que quienes hoy aplauden la sentencia sí consideran que lo son. Tenemos un delito mal formulado, ideologizado y peligroso para la libertad de expresión www.eldiario.es/1_c392e7?utm...

The EU Commission guidelines on article 28 DSA promote a flexible, risk-based approach to protecting minors online. Outright bans are simplistic solutions incompatible with comprehensive child protection. My piece for @techpolicypress.bsky.social www.techpolicy.press/what-europes...

Bolsonaro was just found guilty. 🇧🇷 On Tuesday we dropped a Lawfare Daily episode: a 101 explainer on the trial, the Trump tariffs, and the intersection with tech policy. Hear from @laismartins.com, @joanbarata.bsky.social, and @jgorgen.bsky.social www.lawfaremedia.org/article/lawf...

This letter is important. It is a careful, detailed, scholarly, and accurate explanation of the elements of the DSA and EU law that prevent the DSA from being a "censorship" law in the first place. The list of EU expert signatories is stellar. @hutko.bsky.social @joanbarata.bsky.social

The Supreme Court of Brazil is at the very final stage of deciding certain provisions included in the Marco Civil da Internet. In this piece published on JOTA I try to describe what is at stake. www.jota.info/opiniao-e-an...

I had the opportunity to exchange views with great experts such as @noupside.bsky.social @daphnek.bsky.social and @dwj88.bsky.social in an interesting @lawfaremedia.org podcast with a very long title! Thanks for the opportunity. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/lawf... @futurefreespeech.org

Leaving Kathmandu after intense and interesting discussions with members of the Parliament on how to improve the Social Media Bill to align it with international standards and best comparative practices.

🚨 Several Asia-Pacific governments have passed a new wave of laws to restrict online speech. 🚨 @joanbarata.bsky.social explains how the EU's Digital Services Act inspired APAC's legislative crackdown on free speech.

In Romania the so-called Brussels effect (in its internal EU perspective) has taken a whole new dimension. One of the reasons put forward by relevant authorities to annul the elections was the alleged violation of #DSA by #TikTok Beyond wider geopolitical implications, definitely a case to follow

‪Glad to share my chapter "The Future of Free Speech: Old Threats and New Challenges" for the upcoming book "The Oxford Handbook of Hate Speech" edited by @ericheinze.bsky.social @nataliealkiviadou.bsky.social Sejal Parmar and Ioanna Tourkochoriti papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Thanks for another opportunity to discuss the nuances and implementation challenges of the DSA, this time with the colleagues from Post-Truth to Be Told. @luisbouzagarcia.bsky.social @lucasproto.bsky.social

In this new post for @celeup.bsky.social I examine how dynamics of so-called regulatory pressure may manifest in Europe, with the Digital Services Act (DSA) as a case study. What role do tensions between regulation and state pressure play in the EU? observatoriolegislativocele.com/threatening-...
