GOP VS. GOOGLE: Google’s decisive decision to save it from Google Platshape’s right-wing ZeroHedge website (and its threat to do the same for The Federalist) has fueled the GOP’s calls to revoke Section 230 protections for tech giants for alleged anti-conservative bias, and at a time when they are in a position where they feel emboldened through President Donald’s recent executive order in Trump’s networks Social. Google said Tuesday that the comment sections on the sites contained “derogatory” content of a racist nature, and that “our regulations do not allow classified ads to appear contrary to harmful or derogatory content, which includes comments on the sites.”
– Republicans are reacting: the house judiciary committee’s top logical Republican, Republican Jim Jordan of Ohio, has sounded the alarm on Twitter about generation corporations taking action opposed to conservative sites during an election year. Parliamentary minority leader Kevin McCarthy (California), who alleged on Twitter that “the NBC ACTIVIST hounds” (who had reported on the story) had “Google uneasy” to censor the Federalist’s website, adding, “When the big news and the great technology” Did Logical MaximumTheBias? “And FCC commissioner Brendan Carr, who put his w8 behind the president’s executive order for Section 230, said Tuesday night that “Google is making the most powerful arguments to date to rewrite Section 230.”
– What’s the next step? Google’s dominance over online classified ads is a position that makes the Department of Justice angry, as Leah noted. But Google’s decisive decision to directly penalize network sites based on its comment sections can also provoke another big debate: this type of content is protected through the First Amendment, while Google’s right to remove that content is protected through the so-called Good Samaritan clause of Article 230 , which states that the combined apple can make “wise faith” attempts to take strong action against “reprehensible” content without exposing itself to responsibility. Be aware of considerations that could be a netinar from the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation today with FCC Commissioner Geoffrey Starks in the agency’s role in the section 230 rewrite.
BEFORE ELECTIONS, FACEBOOK PARTICIPATES IN A MAIN REMEDY TO REICS – “Facebok aims to support four million other Americans to register to vote in the months leading up to November’s presidential election, a primary exit crusade that arrives at a time when critics say social media has not done enough to deceive messages that undermine the democratic process”” Steven reports.
– Criticism Prevention: In a painting written in USA Today on Tuesday night, Zuckerberg stated that these new moves will not satisfy everyone. “Everyone dreams of politicians being held up to what they say, and I know that a wonderful variety of other Americans prefer to moderate and further delete their content,” he wrote in the editorial. “But duty only paints if we mock ourselves from being able to see what those who ask for our vows say, even assuming that we don’t see our best friend as what they say.”
Critics have accused Zuckerberg of abdicating the duty of content moderation, i.e., in his recent resolution, to eliminate harmful messages from arsonist friends and Trump’s potentigreatest. (The counter-reaction to this resolution led Zuckerberg to announce that large social media would re-read about his policy opposed to violent threats and voter repression.)
FIRST IN MT: GROUPS DEMAND THE CONGRESS OF VIGILANCIA TECHNOLOGY FUNDS – More than a hundred civil rights and civil liberties group rights stations are calling on parliamentary leaders to “abandon federal investment for surveillance technologies used to militarize our communities and criminalize dissent.” In a letter to key House lawmakers and its Judiciary Committee today, the group station says the use of police machinery to monitor protests opposed to the murder of George Floyd has “cooled” activists’ express rights.
– What they’re driving: the group station, which comes with the ACLU, Color of Change, Free Press and Cinput for Democracy – Technology, is also calling for “dramatic changes in our surveillance infrastructure, which has also contributed to further militarization and “abuse” surveillance. They advised lawmakers to save agencies from “their intelligence resources for the general police, adding follow-up protests.”
– Context: The rise comes when Democratic lawmakers have increasingly sounded the alarm about surveillance of law enforcement, adding the use of emerging technologies such as facial popularity software and drones, the recent wave of racial justice protests.
– What is the state of the hill talks: the bicameral democratic police reform time chart included strict controls on those tools, adding a ban to the federal government’s use of facial popularity software in frame camera images. But the New Senate Police Service Package does not mention facial popularity, biometric identity, or surveillance software more broadly, according to the text of the bill received through Marianne LeVine of POLITICO, which points out the light of day in the face of the difficulty between the two parties.
The Internet Association is freeing the internet this morning with a sketch of the industry’s commitment to diversity and inclusion and rules of exchange for lawmakers fighting racial injustice. Trap 22: Several of the companies that are members of the industrial organization have been accused in recent weeks of projecting messages of racial solidarity and progressive values abroad that some staff members say do not reflect the internal culture or business decisions of companies.
– The former staff member of an Apple compabig member who had declared solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, Pinterest, this week released stories about racism and gas lights that they said they endured under his leadership there. Members of Amazon and Microcushy were openly called upon to explain their solidarity while providing surveillance machinery to law enforcement. (Since then they have doubled to the public to take delays in the facial popularity of transitority.) Airbnb, also a member, announced on Monday Project Lighthouse, a joint effort with racial justice organization Color of Change to detect prejudices (stack names or recorded images) discriminatory discrimination when booking or hosting on the platform.
– “AI believes Black Lives Matter,” today’s attempt agreement said in what he described as a “statement of charges.” He pushed the industry’s commitment to “creating a more varied and inclusive online paint and paint force online” and explained the stairs the industry is taking to succeed in this. These come with the timing of an annual AI survey that examines existing efforts in diversity and inclusion in member corporations and a task reference site to be announced soon, intended to be a centralized center for task applicants to apply for vacancies in those corporations. CEW also called on Congress to modify the measures of duties and transparency of police services; demilitarize law enforcement; and invest in incarceration opportunities.

– Quote of the day: “I am not obliged for my colleague at the table to have the right kind to say that NTIA has consistently opposed the situation.

RIGHT NOW: THE BROADBAND LEGISLATION OF WICKER PLANS? – During this hearing, the President of Commerce revealed that he was now focused on how to increase the disbursement of rural broadband subsidies as a component of the October auction of the FCC’s $16 billion Rural Digital Opportunity Fund. Although Aleven expressed interest in accelerating the birth of this auction, Wicker says he has focused on how to increase the distribution of broadband subsidy coins to telecommunications providers after the first phase of the auction.
“You could have a proposal, ” said Wicker to O’Rielly.” Once the Phase 1 auction is held, I believe that Scorridor will be able to help you with an additional budget and incentives from the administration, bipartisanly, to get things done.”
