It was a privilege to workshop my paper on covert entanglement and the First Amendment at the 14th Freedom of Expression Scholars Conference at Yale Law School. Grateful to Professor Alan Chen for discussing my paper! I will be presenting this work at the PLSC next month. Hmu if you’ll be around.

Wrote about agentic AI and human complacency in my latest post for Slow Theory. The age of agentic browsing is creating a “complacence” problem. Is cognitive atrophy or simply put, intellectual laziness a democracy harm? Would love to hear what you think! open.substack.com/pub/slowtheo...

Today, Reshard Kolabhai lays out some lessons for LPE from the Global South. A focus on Africa, he argues, could helpfully destabilize our narratives about capitalist periods, our assumptions about the links between law and capitalism, and our understanding of progressive development policy.

LPE Without Borders: Lessons from the Global South

Law and political economy scholarship, immersed in a particular history of Northern law and capitalism, has tended to focus on US law and policy, with occasional excursions into Europe. But in a world...

My thoughts on Pluribus, a sci-fi show on Apple TV and how it forces us to think about our own future in the AI “hive mind”. Feel free to add your own existential questions to the mix! Caution: several spoilers ahead (including episode 3!) open.substack.com/pub/slowtheo...

First Amendment nerds, help me find a case! It’s mid-century and a justice (Brennan?) writes a dissent (or concurrence?) that talks about disparate impact on African American speakers, citing studies about differences in language use. Thank you

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...

Behind the scenes, the company was also quietly dismantling a system to prevent the spread of misinformation. When the company announced on Jan. 7 that it would end its fact-checking partnerships, the company also instructed teams responsible for ranking content in the company’s apps to stop penalizing misinformation, according to sources and an internal document obtained by Platformer.

The result is that the sort of viral hoaxes that ran roughshod over the platform during the 2016 US presidential election — “Pope Francis endorses Trump,” Pizzagate, and all the rest — are now just as eligible for free amplification on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads as true stories.

Honestly would have been more appropriate for Zuckerberg to have made his announcement yesterday so it was on the anniversary of an event his social media platforms helped foment.

Excited to be discussing this on Friday in Paris! Between Meta’s recent announcement on eliminating its current fact-checking ops and the aftermath of elections across the U.S., Europe, and India, there will be a lot to talk about. Thank you for the invitation @hvaloche.bsky.social and Prof Norodom
