A Conversation with Linnet Taylor on Just Data Governance
Join us for a conversation with Linnet Taylor, professor at Tilburg University,
Siddharth Peter De Souza, post-doctoral researcher at Tilburg University, and our moderator, Georgetown Law Professor Julie Cohen. Linnet Taylor and Siddharth Peter de Souza recently published "Governing data and artificial intelligence for all: Models for sustainable and just data governance" for the European Parliament. They will be discussing this publication with a particular focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and how the European Union's data governance framework can align with a data justice perspective. The analysis offers an assessment of the EU data governance strategy overall as well as an explanation of what this means for specific legislation, such as the AI act, the Data Governance act and the Data act.
This event is exclusive for student, staff, and faculty.

Technology, Listeners, and the First Amendment with Helen Norton
Empowered by the ability to collect and aggregate information about users and then to tailor messages designed to shape those users’ responses, today’s digital technologies can facilitate manipulation unprecedented in its reach and success. Differences in power and information matter to First Amendment law, permitting the government’s interventions to protect vulnerable listeners. The First Amendment permits the government to intervene to protect listeners from speakers’ manipulative efforts in certain settings.
The event will be hosted on Tuesday, October 4th from 12:30-2:30pm in McDonough 200. This event is open exclusively to students. To add to your Google calendar, click here.

Anupam Chander:
Professor Anupam Chander recently published a paper in a Yale Information Society Project series with the Yale Journal of Law and Technology titled "Section 230 and the International Law of Facebook". Despite its local origins, Section 230 serves as a key architectural norm of the global internet: internet service providers are not typically responsible for the speech of their users. Section 230 underpins what we might describe as the International Law of Facebook — the global community guidelines written and enforced by internet platforms, largely allowing these platforms to regulate the speech on their platforms. Reviewing Section 230 cases involving foreign events, foreign parties, or foreign law, the essay reveals how Section 230 made the U.S. a safe home base from which to offer a global speech platform.
