Times of India | Trump administration is not giving up on labelling Anthropic a 'national security risk', files a 43-page appeal saying...

The Trump administration has appealed a federal judge's ruling that blocked the Pentagon from labelling Anthropic a supply chain risk. The Justice Department filed the notice on Thursday, with the Ninth Circuit setting an April 30 deadline for formal arguments. The dispute stems from a collapsed $200 million defense contract over Anthropic's refusal to let its Claude AI be used in autonomous weapons or domestic mass surveillance.

Victory! #NinthCircuit Limits Intrusive #DMCA #Subpoenas

The 9th Circuit upheld an important limitation on Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) subpoenas that other federal courts have recognized for more than 2 decades. The DMCA, a misguided anti-piracy law passed in the late 90’s, created a bevy of powerful tools, ostensibly to help #copyright holders fight online #infringement. Unfortunately, the DMCA’s powerful protections are ripe for abuse by “copyright trolls”

Scott 🇮🇱🇺🇦 WILL NOT COMPLY Jun 3, 2025

This week, in #Hernandez et. al. v. City of Los Angeles (docket no. 21-55994), the US Court of #Appeals for the Ninth Circuit chipped away at the misguided #legal principle of #qualifiedImmunity. The case involved a female officer, Toni McBride, who put six bullets in a suspect—the last 2 of which were fired while the suspect was "rolling on the ground".

In a 6-5 en banc decision, the court overturned a 3-judge panel's ruling that qualified immunity protected (now former) Officer McBride, based on a horrifying 2017 precedent from Orange County in which a Sheriff's Department officer essentially executed a prisoner, firing six shots into him after he'd already been hit several times and was lying on the ground. (In the earlier case, Zion v. County of Orange, the officer then stomped on the mortally wounded suspect's head.)

It's always good news when cops are held to account for their actions.

Ninth Circuit Hands Users A Big Win: Californians Can Sue Out-of-State Corporations That Violate State Privacy Laws

Simple common sense tells us that a corporation’s decision to operate in every state shouldn’t mean it can’t be sued in most of them. Sadly, U.S. law doesn’t always follow common sense. That’s why we were so pleased with a recent holding from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Setting a crucial...

6 Federal Agencies Must Rehire Staffers Fired A Month Ago After #NinthCircuit #AppealsCourt Ruling Against #Drumpf & #MelonHusk Minions

All "probationary employees"—those hired within the past yr—who were X'd by Elon's minions on February 13th & 14th as #Valentines from DJT were ordered to to be reinstated to jobs at #DefenseDept, #Energy, #USTreasury, #Agriculture, #Interior, and #Veterans Affairs.

Whether #OutlawWH will expeditiously comply is not assured, as rogue admin already gleefully ignored another federal judgement order this weekend regarding Venezuelan deportees sent to El Salvador

EFF to Ninth Circuit: Young People Have a First Amendment Right to Use Social Media (and All of Its Features)

Minors, like everyone else, have First Amendment rights. These rights extend to their ability to use social media both to speak and access the speech of others online. But these rights are under attack, as many states seek to limit minors’ use of social media through age verification measures and...
