The gvt just said that there are similarities between jawboning platforms and University presidents. Genevieve Lakier and I agree, but uh... we arrive at a different conclusion. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

The IU Bloomington administration evidently changed a longstanding time/place/manner protest policy and imposed a new one yesterday, in anticipation of the Dunn Meadow protest. This makes it difficult to argue the policy was viewpoint-neutral, as the First Amendment requires.

The Supreme Court's jawboning decision is out and--just as anticipated--so is Genevieve Lakier's and my conversation about it! There's a lot to like in the majority decision, but also some reasons to be worried about what it might mean for future jawboning claims podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

What will the regulation of social media look like in the Trump era? What guard rails will the 1A impose? Evelyn Douek and I explore some of these questions--and the perennial question of whether 1A law *is* the modern Lochner--in our new HLR Essay. harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-138/…

This piece by Genevieve Lakier & Jameel Jaffer gets to the heart of why upholding the TikTok ban is incompatible with the First Amendment: "The effect of the ruling ... is to substitute definite manipulation by our own government for feared manipulation by China." nytimes.com/2024/12/10/opi…

My take on why SCOTUS's willingness to uphold the TikTok ban--and all of the craziness that has followed since--is a very bad sign for freedom of speech under the Trump administration. lpeproject.org/blog/the-tikto…
