Period-tracking applications occupy a large share of the FemTech industry, offering users intimate insights into their reproductive health while simultaneously exposing them to unprecedented privacy risks. Period-tracking apps regularly disseminate highly sensitive health data under the protection of the notice and consent paradigm of privacy law, an outdated framework that places the burden of privacy […]

This Note examines how artificial intelligence (“AI”) is fundamentally transforming pharmaceutical research and development (“R&D”), altering the cost, risk, and timelines that traditionally justify regulatory exclusivity protections. As AI-enabled technologies accelerate drug discovery and increase clinical success rates, the traditional assumptions supporting lengthy exclusivity periods are becoming less persuasive. This Note contends that Congress should […]

When algorithms fix prices instead of CEOs, does antitrust law have an answer? Scholars have largely lamented the so-called liability gap, dismissing algorithmic tacit collusion as lacking an ‘agreement’ between competitors and thereby evading the watchful eye of the antitrust laws. This Article challenges that premise, developing a legal theory on which algorithmic tacit collusion […]

Amid escalating threats to global food security and ecological stability, the intellectual property (“IP”) regime governing genetically modified crops risks undermining the agricultural resilience it was designed to advance. Congress should consider adjusting the balance between providing innovation incentives through IP rights and facilitating greater access to plant diversity. This can be achieved through more […]

Modern Society and Its Risks When Oura announced a collaboration in August 2025 with the Department of Defense (DoD) and Palantir, a large data analytics firm, fear rippled across the internet. Many users were concerned that Oura would sell or share their personal health data with the United States government or Palantir. However, Oura’s CEO […]

Two U.S. private equity backed companies have collected and analyzed the calls, texts, and emails of incarcerated individuals and their children for decades. In an alarming development, they are now using that data to train AI models that they claim will predict and prevent crimes. Securus Technologies (“Securus”) and ViaPath Technologies (“ViaPath”) collectively control over […]

The story of modern sports betting is ultimately a story about speed. What began as a pre-game activity has transformed into a continuous, real-time market as data infrastructure allows odds to update instantly during play. As wagering migrated in-play, it now resembles financial markets–attracting quantitative traders and rendering data latency, the interval between the capture […]

The One Big Beautiful Act (OBBA), signed into law in July 2025, introduced sweeping policy changes aimed at strengthening domestic industries and reducing federal regulation. The OBBA has significant implications for AI governance because its deregulatory provisions constrain agency enforcement powers, discourage state-level limits on emerging technologies, and condition federal funding on states’ adoption of […]

As debates regarding Section 230 continue, questions remain as to the scope of its conferred immunity and whether it should be amended and scaled back. Left underdiscussed is the difficulty of managing content access on platforms alongside structural access to the platforms themselves. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has been inconsistently applied to online […]

This Note examines the role of quasi-judicial oversight in global tech platform governance by comparing Meta’s privately created Oversight Board (OB) with the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) framework for certified out-of-court dispute settlement (ODS) bodies. Both models aim to expand user remedies and enhance accountability in content moderation, yet they diverge in their […]
