Dear all,

We trust that you are doing well.
Here is our latest activity to get the summer started. 😎

Publications alert!

Law + Technology
https://alti.amsterdam/schrepel-law-plus-tech/
Instead of the classical “law & technology” approach, this article proposes to adopt a “law + technology” approach to explore the synergies between law and technology. “Law + technology” is based on a simple postulate: technology and law can better increase the common good together than in a silo.

A legal definition of the ‘sharing economy’ and associated platform-based legal models
https://alti.amsterdam/a-legal-definition-of-the-sharing-economy-and-associated-platform-based-legal-models/
The ‘Sharing Economy’ is one of the most critical social, economic, and legal phenomena today. Companies such as Uber, Airbnb, and Getaround epitomize this phenomenon and exemplify its impact on modern society. Despite its disruption, there is still no clear definition of this phenomenon from a legal perspective.

Confounding that problem, many significant knowledge products—algorithms, data, manufacturing know-how—are not covered by standard intellectual property regimes and thus require a new form of protection. In addition, emerging rights to personal privacy make demands for commercial secrecy more congenial; these rights also furnished firms with novel grounds to withhold the release of data. Perhaps most important, global competitive pressures drew governmental attention to economic espionage and forced technology transfer, thereby sensitizing legislatures to demands for stronger protection.

Rebecca Tushnet: “Content Moderation and Disclosure: The Cautionary US Experience”
https://alti.amsterdam/tushnet-content-moderation/
In the last year, the US states of Florida and Texas have attempted to require large online platforms to be “viewpoint neutral” in content moderation. The purpose was clearly set forth by Florida governor Ron DeSantis in his signing statement: to combat the “biased silencing” of “our freedom of speech as conservatives . . . by the ‘big tech’ oligarchs in Silicon Valley.” (…)
