Grateful to be confirmed today to serve as Assistant Secretary of Commerce @NTIAgov My thanks to @SecRaimondo and the many supporters who made this possible. Now on to the work of connecting America and building a better Internet.


Great reminder @amac: Many of the most pro-consumer, pro-innovation features of Internet law today are not random but the product of principled organizations and people fighting for important things, sometimes over years and at great cost.

With the Oracle decision today, Google wins the third of a set of big copyright cases about decisions made >10yrs ago by a strong team of lawyers with whom I was privileged to work: 1) book search is fair use 2) the DMCA protects YouTube 3) Android's use Java APIs is fair use



Respect.

Discussed signaling and transmission in the telephone local loop today in my surveillance class and it reminded me of what an utterly amazing piece of engineering POTS telephony is.



Repeal Section 230? Leave it alone? Something in between? Something else entirely? Diving into these questions and what might actually happen in DC, with the excellent @ellgood @oliviersylvain @ericgoldman @glakier Tuesday at #SOTN2021.

Joe Biden and fmr President Trump agreed on only one thing: Section 230 needed to be "revoked, immediately." But amending 230 is more likely. Our experts - @abdavidson @oliviersylvain @glakier @ellgood @ericgoldman - will break down the myriad proposals. sotn2021.eventbrite.com

Reading through these orders is like reliving the worst moments of the last Administration, only in reverse. It's been a good day for America.

Today @POTUS will sign executive orders to: * Rejoin Paris Climate Accord * Require masks for fed buildings & employees * End Muslim travel ban * Bring back DACA * Pause student loans, mortgage payments & evictions With historic challenges, this Administration is #ReadyonDayOne.
