Links for Week of August 22, 2025

This week, I liked Professor Guadamuz’s post on the UK Online Safety Act. Professor Goldman had a nice post as well, this one about how DMCA unmasking subpoenas aren’t the right solution when the content being hosted is a torrent. Finally, Cathy Gellis had a good post on Techdirt about how the Supreme Court has been handling the First Amendment online.
