    We imagine that platforms can bring the whole sprawling chaos of human behavior into compliance with the law. Make our lives policeable, and policed, to a degree no govt in history could have imagined. Not only do we seem to think it's possible– we think it's a good idea.

    Replying to @daphnehk @AASchapiro
    So the vicious circle is first, we demand content moderation, then we get some and we're unhappy with it (because human beings are fallible, inconsistent, etc.), then we demand *less* "censorship" or *more* "moderation" or *the end of all unfair censorship/moderation*.

    The second part here is key (though I’m biased—the report is great). If we want more and diverse places on the Internet to build communities/have conversations, we need a framework that lets companies of any size host content at scale w/o risk of being bullied into takedowns.

    Great report quantifying the resources small and mid-sized companies put into content moderation (both for automated tools and human employees). Also: How much it costs to litigate content claims -- costs they can avoid if they just appease every claimant.

    The idea that IA could somehow politically negotiate on behalf of “tech” became absurd a long time ago. By SESTA/FOSTA at the absolute latest. Will their demise stop lawmakers from talking only to giants and claiming “tech” had “agreed” or “refused to compromise” etc.? Oh, no.

    This is such a downer and it’s so right. We now have a year of Trump’s power with and without a major platform presence, and can draw comparisons. There’s a problem here that’s way bigger, and way less tractable, than platform regulation.

    That was supposed to be in the first tweet. I went on vacation for a week and forgot how to do this.

    The Israeli Supreme Court's troubling ruling about government Internet Referral Units, Facebook removals, and Internet users' rights is now available in English thanks to translators at . This is hands down one of the year's most important rulings in this space.

    Useful chart. Do we want comparable transparency reports so much that we want to give up on diversity (and experimentation, evolution, etc.) in the underlying moderation practices?

    Read the whole thing but this table highlights something that I think is still little understood/discussed: platform policies can actually be very different! Lots of implications that we often overlook. One example: how comparable are different platforms' transparency reports?

    Giant Hollywood rightsholders may have a bad track record of issuing inaccurate DMCA notices, but the error rate for random un-lawyered small claimants is IMO sure to be worse. I think I discussed this here

    It’s pretty conspicuous that YT gives one class of rightsholders automatic removal rights, and not others. The dif is partly about providing reference files ex ante. But it’s also about (1) who has leverage over YT and (2) who has more professional (c) expertise.

    To my mind, this is the right division of labor. Platforms provide the matching tech, legal claimants provide the human judgment. Claimants have more info and more capacity for mercy - they can choose to leave legal-grey-area content up without risk.

    YT also has a tool that, unlike ContentID, is available to anyone who has brought a successful (c) removal claim. It notifies the person of reuploads, so they can request removal of the new match is also infringing. (Which is often but not always the case.)

    YouTube apparently now has a tool that can flag matched content to the user *at the time of upload* and let the user edit it out. This is super new, interesting, and presumably expensive. As notes, it’s also what lawmakers assumed every platform could do already.

    Summary of YouTube’s new copyright transparency report by ⁦⁩. This is the kind of info lawmakers should have examined *before* enacting a filtering mandate like Art 17.
