My second post about researchers’ rights to scrape data under DSA Article 40.12 is up! This is dense with legal arguments for researchers to use if they get sued. Or to show their lawyers before that. [www.techpolicy.press/how-the-mean...](

Don't let anyone tell you that the Commission's DSA enforcement against X is about speech or censorship. That would, indeed, be interesting. But this is just the EU enforcing some normal, boring laws that would get bipartisan support in the U.S. (I bet similar bills *have* had that support.) 1/

What if we all just agreed that "VLOP" stands for *both* Very Large Online Platforms and Very Large Online Search Engines. If we actually need to distinguish them, we can revert to saying VLOPSEs or VLOPs/SEs any time we need to! But in the meantime we can use simpler language.

Alphabet's letter to the House Judiciary Committee is making me physically cringe. Apparently we are now the country where you ritualistically say false things to lawmakers because it is what they want to hear.

Lately, I’ve been defending the European Commission against allegations of censorship. I haven’t always done that. In 2017, for example, I accused them of promoting censorship to a dystopian degree. My title was, if I do say so myself, a real banger. 1/ [cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2017/10...](
