The recently proposed report on the Digital Networks Act risks undermining the DNA’s objective of simplifying the EU telecoms sector – an objective already weakened by the European Commission’s original proposal.
Instead of streamlining rules, the report extends legacy telecoms obligations to new players without real justification, driven largely by political posturing and ‘sovereignty’ considerations. project-disco.org/european-u…
The European Commission is considering an EU-wide system of anti-piracy injunctions – requiring providers to block access to websites and servers containing copyright-infringing content. project-disco.org/european-u…
The FCC has an important role to play in protecting the security of U.S. communications & technology supply chains. But national security regulation works best when it targets identifiable risks rather than treating foreign production itself as the threat

This week, legislators and advocates across the U.S. will attend the National Conference of State Legislature’s annual conference, where they will review the first half of the 2026 legislative sessions. Importantly, state legislatures continue to shape the future of tech policy.
In the absence of comprehensive federal legislation, lawmakers across the country are increasingly taking the lead on issues ranging from artificial intelligence and privacy to children's online safety and digital competition. project-disco.org/innovation…
When social media companies enforce policies against medical disinformation, conspiracies to undermine election integrity, or even harmful teen-targeted internet challenges, they are not abridging their users’ free speech rights.
They are exercising their own constitutional right to make editorial judgments. These actions are not infringing on the #FirstAmendment, they are the First Amendment at work. #FreeSpeech project-disco.org/innovation…
The #FirstAmendment is the cornerstone of American democracy. It ensures that Americans can speak, publish, and be heard at a scale the founders could scarcely have imagined.
Today, that freedom faces growing threats, including recently enacted state laws that would empower the government to compel speech. Learn more about #FreeSpeech and digital expression. project-disco.org/innovation…
On this 250th anniversary, @MSchruers honors the #FirstAmendment, the enduring American guarantee of free expression: the freedom to speak, the freedom to listen, and the right not to be compelled by the government to say anything at all. #FreeSpeech project-disco.org/innovation…
As America turns 250, its citizens are protected by a robust #FourthAmendment and our privacy expectations for the digital age are closer to being fulfilled. project-disco.org/privacy/a-… #SCOTUS Chatrie v. United States
As the United States celebrates 250 years of independence, few areas of public policy better illustrate the country’s capacity for institutional durability and adaptability than #Antitrust law.
The remarkable feature of the American antitrust system is not just its legacy, but that it remains effective after profound economic and technological changes. Learn more: project-disco.org/competitio…
This week, Sens. Grassley and Klobuchar reintroduced the American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA), for the third time.
At a time when consumers are facing rising inflation, AICOA would undermine the free and low cost digital tools consumers use to find lower prices, exchange information, and work and study online. project-disco.org/competitio…
While debates over tech sovereignty and ‘Buy European’ policies intensify in Brussels, it is imperative for policymakers to focus on ensuring that new laws enhance, not hinder, Europe’s competitiveness and long-term security.

Since early 2025, LaLiga (Spain’s top-tier football league) has been operating an aggressive and largely unchecked IP-address blocking regime in an attempt to tackle sports piracy.
While the goal of combating online piracy is universally supported, Spain’s approach perfectly illustrates the dangers of blunt infrastructure-level blocking and privatised enforcement without judicial oversight.
