After a sweeping social media ban, Nepal saw its bloodiest unrest in decades. What has happened in Nepal is a warning to other democracies to tread carefully with efforts to contain online expression, writes Samik Kharel.

First AI fair use ruling, but probably of little predictive value for the big pending genAI cases, as it involved an AI developer that copied Westlaw headnotes to train a legal research model to directly compete with Westlaw (at least that's how the court describes it).

From today, the prohibited practices/AI systems in the AI Act enter force. It becomes illegal to use or market, broadly (and loosely): - intentionally v manipulative systems likely to cause someone harm - social scoring that leads to disproportionate consequences/consequences in an unrelated sector
CHAPTER II
PROHIBITED AI PRACTICES
Article 5
Prohibited Al practices
1. The following Al practices shall be prohibited:
(a) the placing on the market, the putting into service or the use of an Al system that deploys subliminal techniques beyond a person's consciousness or purposefully manipulative or deceptive techniques, with the objective, or the effect of materially distorting the behaviour of a person or a group of persons by appreciably impairing their ability to make an informed decision, thereby causing them to take a decision that they would not have otherwise taken in a manner that causes or is reasonably likely to cause that person, another person or group of persons significant harm;
b) the placing on the market, the putting into service or the use of an Al system that exploits any of the vulnerabilities of a natural person or a specific group of persons due to their age, disability or a specific social or economic situation, with the objective, or the effect, of materially distorting the behaviour of that person or a person belonging to that group in a manner that causes or is reasonably likely to cause that person or another person significant harm;
(e) the placing on the market, the putting into service or the use of Al systems for the evaluation or classification of natural persons or groups of persons over a certain period of time based on their social behaviour or known, inferred or predicted personal or personality characteristics, with the social score leading to either or both of the following: (detrimental or unfavourable treatment of certain natural persons or groups of persons in social contexts that are unrelated to the contexts in which the data was originally generated or collected;
(i detrimental or unfavourable treatment of certain natural persons or groups of persons that is unjustified or disproportionate to their social behaviour or its gravity;

While EU position on free speech is significantly…
