You should pre-order this book from real experts on building more trustworthy systems.

Did I mention that we've been writing a book? Fundamentally, security, privacy, trust&safety, AI safety -- all the fields aimed at dealing with dealing with how technical systems hurt people and how to avoid it -- share a foundation. We cover how to think and achieve *truly* effective practice. 1/

Was Hines v Stamos Cheryl Hines suing John Stamos over the long-awaited Full House/Curb Your Enthusiasm crossover? Nope, it was an attempt to suppress academic research into the organized manipulation of online platforms. After three years we finally won. But at great cost.

Kate Starbird@katestarbird.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Two years ago, my colleagues and I were sued by Stephen Miller's America First Legal. The Hines v Stamos case — built atop a number of false allegations — was a central element of the "censorship industrial complex" myth. Today, that case was dismissed (by a Trump judge in LA). We won.

This Wired article about Meta red-teaming the AI of others without their knowledge is mysterious but the subsequent BlueSky pearl clutching isn’t helpful. How do you think AI gets better? How will academics detect that AI isn’t safe? Through red teaming. www.wired.com/story/meta-c...

"It's just vibes-based regulation." Alex Stamos spoke to Justin Hendrix about the White House yanking Anthropic's Fable with no written standard, no warning, and no procedural path back. He compares it to grounding a jet without telling Boeing why. It's sending the wrong message abroad, he says.

Alex Stamos on Why the US Should Lift Its Fable and Mythos Export Ban

Stamos led an open letter calling on the Trump administration to reverse its export directive that forced Anthropic to remove access to its advanced models.

Well, it looks like the PRC paid for the conference center RightsCon was supposed to be hosted in. Guess they didn't appreciate last year's event in Taipei. zm.china-embassy.gov.cn/eng/dsxxx/ds...

today in things i say that apparently will generate vitriolic hate trains against me: "oligarchical consolidation of media is bad but also there are limits to what can be done given the nation's size and its deeply-rooted tradition of a free press."

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.

Watching the Katseye documentary with my daughter and my initial conclusions are: 1) Wow, these young ladies are talented and work hard 2) How has @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov not opened an investigation into HYBE for child work conditions? There are two orthopedic surgeries documented ON CAMERA.

There’s a super article by @genevievelakier.bsky.social about the “non-First Amendment law of free speech,” which argues, essentially, that it’s a mistake to think the protection of free speech in this country is a matter only (or even principally) of First Amendment doctrine. 1/

I wrote about the Trump Admin's use of federal funding as a jawbone, and why the very reason the First Amendment bar on jawboning is so broad is the very reason jawboning is so effective: intermediaries have strong incentives to just comply. They must not. knightcolumbia.org/blog/federal...

ABC reports Trump to take “flying palace” from Qatar and use it as temporary Air Force 1 before converting it to a personal possession.
