After a sweeping social media ban, Nepal saw its bloodiest unrest in decades. What has happened in Nepal is a warning to other democracies to tread carefully with efforts to contain online expression, writes Samik Kharel.

Spain's fight against the illegal streaming of football matches took a bizarre turn last night, as it led to the blocking of websites for at least 49 local governments and the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE), a leading cultural institution. This is unacceptable!

First AI fair use ruling, but probably of little predictive value for the big pending genAI cases, as it involved an AI developer that copied Westlaw headnotes to train a legal research model to directly compete with Westlaw (at least that's how the court describes it).

Thomson Reuters has won the first major AI copyright case in the US. The decision has big implications for the battle between generative AI companies and rightsholders.

From today, the prohibited practices/AI systems in the AI Act enter force. It becomes illegal to use or market, broadly (and loosely):
- intentionally v manipulative systems likely to cause someone harm
- social scoring that leads to disproportionate consequences/consequences in an unrelated sector
CHAPTER II PROHIBITED AI PRACTICES Article 5 Prohibited Al practices 1. The following Al practices shall be prohibited: (a) the placing on the market, the putting into service or the use of an Al system that deploys subliminal techniques beyond a person's consciousness or purposefully manipulative or deceptive techniques, with the objective, or the effect of materially distorting the behaviour of a person or a group of persons by appreciably impairing their ability to make an informed decision, thereby causing them to take a decision that they would not have otherwise taken in a manner that causes or is reasonably likely to cause that person, another person or group of persons significant harm; b) the placing on the market, the putting into service or the use of an Al system that exploits any of the vulnerabilities of a natural person or a specific group of persons due to their age, disability or a specific social or economic situation, with the objective, or the effect, of materially distorting the behaviour of that person or a person belonging to that group in a manner that causes or is reasonably likely to cause that person or another person significant harm; (e) the placing on the market, the putting into service or the use of Al systems for the evaluation or classification of natural persons or groups of persons over a certain period of time based on their social behaviour or known, inferred or predicted personal or personality characteristics, with the social score leading to either or both of the following: (detrimental or unfavourable treatment of certain natural persons or groups of persons in social contexts that are unrelated to the contexts in which the data was originally generated or collected; (i detrimental or unfavourable treatment of certain natural persons or groups of persons that is unjustified or disproportionate to their social behaviour or its gravity;

Out of control. He is acting like a little kid in a sugar rush. Are we sure he doesn't have a Neuralink prototype already implanted?

Elon Musk made a gesture during his speech at the Capital One Arena that looks suspiciously like the Hitler salute. Musk held his hand on his chest and then pushed it into the air, followed by the words "My heart goes out to you".

There is a flood of indignant reactions about Musk on social media.

A Quick Note on EU Digital Services Act and Elon Musk’s Possible Interference with Various Political Processes in the EU: What Exactly Must X Do in the EU?
Lots of ink is spilled these days commenting Elon Musk’s posts on X on a variety of topics ranging from German elections to Denmark’s governance of Greenland. The question which poses itself is whether EU digital laws can be used to limit Musk’s interventions, which are perceived as being extremely right-wing and harmful to democratic processes in the EU. While EU position on free speech is significantly…
