Adam KovacevichRT @KouriCMarshall: I’ve worked with many awesome people and teams over the years. But, my colleagues at @ProgressChamber are simply superb and easy to work with. Talented and humble. Here is a few of us at #SOTN2023. https://t.co/sffGsOSyWi
Rob Pegoraro"The goal here is to have a massive amount of oversight, so you don't have to take our word for it," #TikTok's security head Will Farrell said at #SOTN2023. Which means much more than having a U.S. data center: "Every single line of code has to be inspected by Oracle and another third-party inspector certified b the U.S. government."
"When's the last time your ISP blocked you from a legal web site?" FCC commissioner Nathan Simington asks at #SOTN2023. "Your ISP isn't stopping you from connecting to any of those things."
That is a respectable argument against net-neutrality rules--that the danger of ISPs tampering with traffic is over. But if you make that, you have to admit that ISPs seriously talked for many years about doing just that.

At at a #SOTN2023 panel featuring an exec from Amazon's upcoming Project Kuiper low-Earth-orbit satellite constellation, I asked how they planned to avoid having speeds bog down from demand in the way Starlink has. Public-policy director Darren Achord said he wasn't familiar with Starlink's issues (really?) but said that for Kuiper, it would be about "making sure that we're planning our deployment right and accounting for customer use cases as we scale." https://www.pcmag.com/news/starlink-speeds-continue-to-fall-in-the-us-canada-amid-network-congestion
Congress has options available to it to look at things that are problematic where section 230 isn't a defense. #SOTN2023
Justice Kagan in her discussion said S.230 was written in the pre-algorithm time, but that's simply not true. #SOTN2023
