@NelsonTebbe and I have a new piece on how we think the First A could and should apply to the social media platforms. Tldr: the First Amendment Qs raised by content moderation are NOT easy, or shouldN'T be. lpeproject.org/blog/after-th…

I blogged about why the demand letter the Trump admin sent to Harvard last week violates the First A even if Harvard doesn't comply--and why Harvard really *shouldn't* comply with this kind of jawboning. reason.com/volokh/2025/04/06…
My take on why SCOTUS's willingness to uphold the TikTok ban--and all of the craziness that has followed since--is a very bad sign for freedom of speech under the Trump administration. lpeproject.org/blog/the-tikt…
What will the regulation of social media look like in the Trump era? What guard rails will the 1A impose?
@evelyndouek and I explore some of these questions--and the perennial question of whether 1A law *is* the modern Lochner--in our new HLR Essay. harvardlawreview.org/print/v…

Yes. Writing for @knightcolumbia, Professors @glakier and @evelyndouek identify the serious threat to campus speech rights posed by the Dep't of Education's Title VI enforcement and suggest useful ameliorative steps.

The Supreme Court's jawboning decision is out and--just as anticipated--so is @glakier's and my conversation about it! There's a lot to like in the majority decision, but also some reasons to be worried about what it might mean for future jawboning claims

The @IUBloomington administration evidently changed a longstanding time/place/manner protest policy and imposed a new one yesterday, in anticipation of the Dunn Meadow protest. This makes it difficult to argue the policy was viewpoint-neutral, as the First Amendment requires.
This is a powerful, and damning letter from @knightcolumbia
