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.

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…

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.
