The real impact of the EU's DSA will only be assessed using real examples, such as this one: https://verfassungsblog.de/marg-bar-khamenei/
@cyberleagle has made this point repeatedly about the UK's Online Safety Bill.
This is a nicely-phrased analysis of the Allister & Peebles SC judgement from an NI HR lawyer:
https://verfassungsblog.de/allister-and-peeples/
worth reading with @davidallengreen comments on the same case (link in Anurag's post)
The ruling in Allister and Peeples of 8 February 2023 serves as a potent reminder that the UK has yet to fully say goodbye to Brexit. The matter being scrutinised was the Northern Ireland Protocol and questions surrounding its constitutionality within the famously uncodified UK constitution. Critically, the UK Supreme Court appears to have poured cold water on the idea that certain Acts of the UK Parliament have a constitutional character (the constitutional statutes doctrine). It is my suggestion, however, that the doctrine has not entirely been consigned to history.
The always-interesting @davidallengreen has written an astute parody of a Denning judgment cited by the Supreme Court yesterday: https://lawandlore.substack.com/p/the-tate-modern-viewing-platform Wish I'd thought of that.
As he says, nobody mentions Denning now. It's almost as if naming him would undermine the authority of the case that was cited.

This is an excellent, and jaw-dropping, piece by @[email protected] in @[email protected] about the critical deterioration of the rule of law and fair trial guarantees in Poland. https://twitter.com/Verfassungsblog/status/1615318080715907074

“7 years after the activation of the pre-Article 7 procedure, Poland has become a “legal black hole” with all of its top courts unlawfully composed. @ProfPech with the latest on Poland's rule of law situation and a list of violated ECtHR and ECJ rulings. https://t.co/LE4InAOXp1”
A classic. I'd love to give attribution to the original creator but trying to look up the history is a bit difficult. Hand drawn versions appear to have existed pre-Internet; these 70s and 80s images apparently were the basis for the version which appeared in John Oakland's book Total Quality Management, first published in 1989. https://www.businessballs.com/amusement-stress-relief/tree-swing-cartoon-pictures-early-versions/
More backstory there. Fascinating history.

The Slow Death of Surveillance Capitalism? Sadly, I don't think so. Digital platforms are adaptable and wily in their profit seeking, and are unlikely to roll over.
This is a fine article on (US judicial supremacy) - one for @davidallengreen
“They say that God loves a trier. If so, he has special love for Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC).
In a 1,600-word press release on Wednesday, the DPC implied it had won a battle.
The opposite is the case. Put simply: the agency that had previously sided with Facebook was called into line by its fellow European authorities.”
