The failure of San Francisco's Board of Supervisors to stand up to AT&T and Comcast—by paving the way to universally accessible, fast, and affordable broadband for all of its residents—is a great disappointment.https://www.fastcompany.com/90319916/the-anti-competitive-forces-that-foil-speedy-affordable-broadband …

No one thinks it was a good idea for the FCC to abandon oversight over the broadband industry. But some in Sacramento think CA should do the same. AB 1366 would set the state backwards on promoting broadband competition. Tell your legislator to vote NO.https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/03/californias-legislature-contemplating-abandoning-oversight-over-broadband-0 …

TikTok was found to be not following privacy rules. And then, in the process of trying to comply with them, made a series of mistakes that cost people access to their videos.https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/03/why-are-creators-paying-tiktoks-mistake …

Imposing liability for hosting violent content would also censor users who engage in counter-speech, as platforms often can’t tell the difference between hyperbole and hate speech, or pointing out violence and inciting it.https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/03/dont-repeat-fostas-mistakes …

EFF is disappointed that the city of San Francisco failed to stand up to broadband incumbents and promote universally accessible, fast, and affordable broadband to all of its citizens.https://www.fastcompany.com/90319916/the-anti-competitive-forces-that-foil-speedy-affordable-broadband …

Californians, why do some of your legislators think the best response to the broadband monopoly is to hope they will be nice to us and lay down their arms? That is essentially what AB 1366 will do. Contact your state legislators and tell them to vote NO.https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/03/californias-legislature-contemplating-abandoning-oversight-over-broadband-0 …
