- Some local news. Honored to receive this endowed chair at @GeorgetownLaw. And a richly-deserved endowed chair for @MadhaviSunder, who, I am told, is also Queen of the Andals and the First Men. @GtownTechLaw
- I was a law student there, and this is exactly right. But let me add a footnote to this story. 1/The recent Yale Law School dust up reminds me of a similar controversy when I was an undergrad some decades ago and a group invited an official from the Nation of Islam to speak at YLS. 1/
- Book cover unveil -- Data Sovereignty: From the Digital Silk Road to the Return of the State -- forthcoming this fall @OUPAcademic! Edited with @haochensun & including a host of great authors. We worked hard on a visualization for 'data sovereignty'--and the designers killed it!

- Excited for the first day of classes! Meyer v. Uber up for discussion in Contracts. And Warren and Brandeis in Information Privacy!
- Oxford Univ. Press will release our book, Data Sovereignty: From the Digital Silk Road to the Return of the State next month, but you can read the intro for free already via Amazon: amazon.com/Data-Sovereign… (with @haochensun)
- The public policy head and CEO of a two-billion dollar company is going after me on Twitter--and not one person has spoken up for me.
- Replying to @larabazelon and @at_dc50 Criminal Justice Reform Accomplishments by Kamala Harris: medium.com/@blackwomenvie…. I wonder if the other candidates can claim similar achievements. 1/2
- Delighted to spend a year back in Cambridge, MA this coming year with @BKCHarvard's Institute for Rebooting Social Media! I'll be working on the problem of how to regulate foreign social media in the context of national security.@BKCHarvard’s Institute for Rebooting Social Media is thrilled to announce its Visiting Scholars cohort for the upcoming 2023-2024 academic year.
