We're suing the U.S. government to invalidate DMCA 1201. But for now, here's some science fiction about the dystopia that DRM creates by locking up video, from 2017 Hugo and Nebula Award nominee @mightymur.

A judge has ruled that viewpoint-based exclusion by the president on Twitter is “impermissible under the First Amendment.”
In other words—the president can't block people just because he dislikes their view without violating their free speech rights. eff.org/press/releases…

.@TheJusticeDept may disagree with today's ruling, but EFF Civil Liberties Director, @DavidGreene, sees it as a warning to other elected officials who block constituents on social media: "I hope they take it as a message that you have to stop doing this." wired.com/story/donald-t…

Amazon should not be in the business of providing surveillance systems like Rekognition to the government.

Today's ruling in the @knightcolumbia First Amendment suit is a good start.
We have also filed suit against Texas A&M, which won’t publish any post on its open Facebook page that contains "PETA" or at least 11 other words, including “lab,” and “testing.” eff.org/press/releases…

EFF is continuing its work to stop government censorship of online speech in a new lawsuit against Texas A&M University, which blocked certain words from being posted to its public Facebook page in order to silence critical views. eff.org/press/releases…

Whether you’re @realDonaldTrump, a government agency, a mayor, a sheriff, or a senator: it's still government censorship if you use a private company's tool, and a private account, to control a public forum and censor speech in it. pic.twitter.com/OCAKO3TGfp

Importantly, the court also ruled that @knightcolumbia’s inability to read the comments that others made in reply to the president's tweets gave them standing—which has implications for contesting takedown orders of all types. pic.twitter.com/XAfInOkIfc

@knightcolumbia, who brought the suit, agrees that this ruling should apply elsewhere: “The court's application of that principle here should guide all of the public officials who are communicating with their constituents through social media." knightcolumbia.org/news/federal-c… pic.twitter.com/GQiYbDkqgR

The “interactive space” where Twitter users engage with the president’s tweets are properly analyzed under the “public forum” doctrine set forth by the Supreme Court, and “the blocking of the plaintiffs based on their political speech...violates the First Amendment.” pic.twitter.com/HFhyBDAtxC

Judge Buchwald considered whether “a public official may, consistent with the First Amendment, block a person from his Twitter account in response to the political views that person has expressed.” In this case, the answer is no. pic.twitter.com/ox4VaqAsTE

Far too many public officials manipulate social media comments to exclude opposing views, block users from commenting on agency Facebook pages, or prevent them from contributing to and reading community discussions.
They should unblock their critics now and not wait to be sued.

Many people are asking if this ruling applies to other public officials and other platforms.
No. But the law is coalescing around the idea that the public forum doctrine applies to social media, and that almost always means officials cannot exercise viewpoint discrimination.

Today, a court ruled that the president violates users’ First Amendment rights when he blocks them on Twitter because he dislikes their views.
Here's why—and why this is so important for free speech online. pic.twitter.com/bk8297m5A9

The ACCESS to Recordings Act is a better option, because it truly puts pre-72 recordings on an equal footing with current recordings, safeguarding competition and the public domain. Read it here: finance.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…

The CLASSICS Act is an overly complex and harmful approach to pre-1972 recordings. Tell the Senate to reject it. act.eff.org/action/stop-an…
