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 prompted government calls to revoke Section 230 protections for tech giants by 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 top logical Republican in the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, sounded the alarm on Twitter about the generation corporations that took action opposed to conservative sites during an election year. The minority leader in the Chamber, Kevin McCarthy (California), who claimed on Twitter that “the NBC activists” (who had reported the story) “had Google uneasy” to censor the federalist’s website, adding, “When is the giant? Wonderful news and technologies – Smaximum logicalTheBias ?! “And FCC commissioner Brendan Carr, who served on the president’s executive order for Section 230, said Tuesday night that “Google presents the most powerful arguments to date for the section 230 rewrite.”

– And then: Google’s dominance over online classified ads is a brow-raising position in the Department of Justice, 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 in Section 230 , which states that the combined apple can make “wise faith” attempts to take strong action against “reprehensible” content without liability. 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 new type of Section 230.

BEFORE THE ELECTIONS, FACEBOOK PRESY THE COMMITMENT OF A GREAT LINE OF VOTERS’ REGISTRATION – “Facebok aims to support four million other Americans to register to vote in the months leading up to the November presidential election, a primary voting crusade that occurs at a time when critics say that 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 to moderate content, i.e., in his recent resolution, to eliminate Trump’s incendiary and powerful harmful messages. (The counter-reaction to this resolution led Zuckerberg to announce that large social media would re-read about his policies opposed to violent threats and voter repression.)

FIRST IN MT: GROUPS CALL THE CONGRESS FOR THE VIGILANCIA TECHNOLOGY FUND – More than a hundred group civil rights and civil liberties 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 pushing: the group station, which comes with 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 policing. abuse.” 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 increasingly sound the alarm about surveillance of law enforcement, adding the use of emerging technologies such as facial popularity software and drones, the recent wave of protests over racial justice.

– What is the status of hill talks? Democratic bicameral police reconfigure the schedule with strict controls on those tools, adding a ban to the federal government’s use of facial popularity software in frame camera images. But the Senate GOP police package draw doesn’t come with a big mention of facial popularity, biometric identity or surveillance software in general, 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 the exchange of rules 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 in the outside world that some staff members say do not reflect the internal culture or business decisions of companies.

– The former staff of an Apple compabig member who had declared solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, Pinterest, this week released stories about racism and fuel fires that they said they endured under their leadership. Members of Amazon and Microcushy were openly called upon to explain their solidarity while providing surveillance machinery to law enforcement. (They have since doubled to the public to temporarily eliminate delays in facial popularity.) Airbnb, also a member, announced On Monday’s Project Lighthouse, a joint effort with the 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. The AI also called on Congress to modify the measures of duties and transparency in surveillance; demilitarize law enforcement; and invest in incarceration opportunities.

LINKED FIGHT REDUX – Tuesday’s reconfirmation hearing for GOP FOP Commissioner Mike O’Rielly became another dispute over the agency’s April order approving the 5G plans of the Linked Networks satellite network, which critics like the Pentagon say will disrupt GPS. Senate Trade President Roger Wicker (R-Miss) opposed O’Rielly two other candidates, for positions in the Departments of Transportation and Commerce, who expressed concern about Linked.

– Quote of the day: “I am not obliged for my colleague at the table to have the right kind to say that the NTIA is constantly opposed to the situation. My conversations with several Americans raised that the NTIA had another attitude during the period and it was only when a director was fired that the location was as it is now Translation: O’Rielly says Trump’s leadership was less hostile to Tied before the reintegration of former director David Redl in May 2019.

– FCC President Ajit Pai defended Linked’s resolution in a letter to several members of the Senate.

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 it has directly focused on how to accelerate the payment of broadband subsidy coins to telecom providers after the first phase of this auction.

“I could have a proposal, ” said Wicker to O’Rielly. “Once the Phase 1 auction is held, I think scorridor will be able to help you with an additional budget and incentives from the administration, bipartisanly, to get things done.”
