We Shouldn’t Have To Explain To The FTC Why Content Moderation Is So Crucial To Free Speech, But We Did
FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson begged Donald Trump for his job by promising he would “end Lina Khan’s politically motivated investigations.” And, yet, one of his first orders of business upon getting th…
Taylor Swift: singer, songwriter, copyright innovator
Taylor Swift is in the news, and not just because she has become the most decorated solo artist of all time. The fact that Taylor Swift has already been mentioned multiple times on Walled Culture underlines that she is also an important – if surprising – figure in the world of copyright. That’s because Swift has been re-recording her albums in order to gain full control over them. She […]

MPA Ramps Up Efforts to Disrupt Pirate Sites’ Use of Internet Intermediaries

#Intermediaries #Antitrust #Competition #Capitalism: "The problem, in other words, isn't intermediation – it's power. The thing that distinguishes a useful intermediary from an enshittified bully is power. Intermediaries gain power when our governments stop enforcing competition law. This lets intermediaries buy each other up and corner markets. Once they've formed cozy cartels, they can capture their regulators and commit rampant labor, privacy and consumer violations with impunity. That capture also lets them harness governments to punish smaller players that want to free workers, creators, audiences and customers from walled gardens. It also hands them a whip-hand over their workers, so that any worker who refuses to aid in these nefarious plans can be easily fired:
A world with intermediaries is a better world. As much as I love Crad Kilodney's books, I wouldn't want to live in a world where the only books on my shelves came from people prepared to stand on a street-corner wearing a "FOUL PUS FROM DEAD DOGS" sign.
The problem isn't intermediaries – it's powerful intermediaries. That's why the world's surging antitrust movement is so exciting: by reinstating competition law, we can keep intermediaries small and comparatively weak, so that creators and audiences, drivers and riders, sellers and buyers, and other groups seeking to connect will not find themselves made subservient to middlemen."

'It is always important to be vigilant about the imputations you make when making posts that may impact someone's reputation. Additionally, malice will undo the availability of most defences and open the door to an increased damages award.
While the outcome of each defamation case will turn on its own particular facts, baseless attacks against professionals who rely upon their reputations for their livelihood are likely to give rise to a sizeable award of damages. Where the attack lacks bona fides, is improper, scandalous or excessive in its attack, then one can expect the statutory cap on damages to be lifted by an award of aggravated damages.
Additionally, if you are the administrator of a public social media account that others can post to, you need to be aware that you can also be held liable as a publisher of defamatory comments posted by members of the public who you give access to. Vigilance is required to monitor and moderate such accounts in order to limit the risk of the original publisher's liability for defamation being visited upon you – particularly if you may be seen as a better defendant if you have deeper pockets than the original publisher.' https://www.claytonutz.com/knowledge/2021/september/how-to-lose-450-000-in-four-posts-internet-trolls-beware #defamation #auslaw #intermediaries #socialmedia
