Newspapers Endangered… By The Telegraph 18 December 2009, 3:02 pm
With the advent of new technology, newspapers are being threatened. Many are expected to go out of business, and the rest will have to change substantially. Many observers fear that journalism will become too driven by speed, and that judgment and deliberation will be lost. Others said that news reporting would be devalued and only [...] Read more >>
(No) Surprise! REAL ID Deadline Extended Again 18 December 2009, 1:58 pm
In a classic example of the 5:00 Friday news drop, the Department of Homeland Security has announced that it is extending the REAL ID compliance deadline. Forty-six of 56 jurisdictions, it reports, were not able to implement even the interim measures it proposed requiring by December 31st when it last extended the deadline in [...] Read more >>
Making A Federal Case out of Facebook’s Customer Relations 18 December 2009, 12:54 pm
We’ve all heard someone use the phrase “making a federal case out of” something. Often it’s used when people overreact–as in stop making a federal case out of this! And that’s the reaction we should have to the complaint filed by EPIC, Center for Digital Democracy, and others with the FTC. Because they have literally [...] Read more >>
Mobile Micropayments: Forcing Me to Reconsider the Conventional Wisdom 18 December 2009, 10:50 am
I’ve always generally agreed with the conventional wisdom about micropayments as a method of funding online content or services: Namely, they won’t work. Clay Shirky, Tim Lee, and many others have made the case that micropayments face numerous obstacles to widespread adoption. The primary issue seems to be the “mental transaction cost” problem: People don’t [...] Read more >>
Beware Of Space Junk: Global Warming Isn’t the Only Major Environmental Problem 18 December 2009, 7:42 am
by James Dunstan & Berin Szoka* (PDF) Originally published in Forbes.com on December 17, 2009 As world leaders meet in Copenhagen to consider drastic carbon emission restrictions that could require large-scale de-industrialization, experts gathered last week just outside Washington, D.C. to discuss another environmental problem: Space junk.[1] Unlike with climate change, there’s no difference of scientific opinion [...] Read more >>
Facebook Privacy Controls Change & EPIC’s FTC Complaint 17 December 2009, 8:08 pm
In case you live under a digital rock (whaddyamean, you don’t check TechMeme hourly?), you have probably heard that EPIC filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission Thursday, alleging that Facebook’s revised privacy settings (and their implementation) constitute “unfair and deceptive trade practices” punishable under the FTC’s Section 5 statutory consumer protection authority. Specifically, EPIC demands, in addition [...] Read more >>
FTC’s Dumb Move Against Intel 17 December 2009, 3:37 pm
So the Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit against Intel yesterday charging the company with violations of Sect. 5 of the FTC Act (unfair or deceptive trade practices). What you may have missed yesterday, however, is the rather ironically timed announcement from the Obama administration that it is launching new policies to spur more manufacturing [...] Read more >>
Philly Muni Wi-Fi Fiasco Continues; Taxpayers to Pick Up Tab 17 December 2009, 10:30 am
As we’ve noted here before in our ongoing series on “Problems in Public Utility Paradise,” municipal wi-fi experiments and local government fiber investments don’t have a very impressive track record. The Philadelphia experiment, which I have discussed here before many times, has been particularly instructive. As Dan P. Lee documented in this spectacular Philadelphia magazine [...] Read more >>
Congresswoman, CALM Thyself! LA Times Eschews Eshoo Nanny State Bill to Regulate Ad Volume 17 December 2009, 9:05 am
The LA Times has come out swinging in a devastating editorial against Rep. Anna G. Eshoo’s (D-CA) Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act, passed by the House on Tuesday. As Adam Thierer and I have discussed (here, here, and here), and as PFF’s Ken Ferree notes here, this silly paternalist law would require the FCC to issue rules that [...] Read more >>
The First Amendment & Net Neutrality: Be Careful What You Wish For 17 December 2009, 5:37 am
As I noted here a few days ago, the Federal Communications Commission held a workshop on Tuesday about “Speech, Democratic Engagement, and the Open Internet.” It was a shockingly one-sided affair with the deck being stacked almost entirely in favor of advocates of Net neutrality regulation. Worse yet, those advocates shamelessly made up spooky stories [...] Read more >>
