The infamous privacy paradox refers to the apparent inconsistency between people’s stated concern for privacy and their readiness to disclose personal information. This phenomenon has sparked two largely disconnected literatures: one offering experimental evidence of inconsistent behavior, and another providing qualitative accounts and defending the importance of privacy. The Article presents an online field experiment […]

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 […]

As encryption and cryptography increasingly intersect with privacy law, criminal procedure, export controls, national security, and emerging regulatory frameworks, legal professionals with a working understanding of this technology are better equipped to counsel their clients, resolve their problems, and be assured that encryption does in fact meet the confidentiality requirements of ABA professional responsibility Rule […]

This Technology Explainer examines how climate models help scientists understand Earth’s dynamic climate system and predict future climate changes. These models are the primary tool scientists have for evaluating the effects of anthropogenic emissions on our climate. In this capacity, climate models are crucial for providing policymakers with the scientific evidence on which they can […]

American nuclear power is experiencing a renaissance, supported by an ideologically diverse set of parties. This shift in public attitudes, which have generally been inimical to nuclear energy, belies a cold economic reality: electricity demand is growing, and more generation capacity is needed to meet it. Nuclear power proponents insist that nuclear is the only […]

The pharmaceutical industry confronts a persistent bottleneck: despite clearing preclinical testing, more than 90% of drug candidates fail in human trials. Unanticipated toxicity remains a major contributor to attrition across therapeutic areas. This failure rate reflects fundamental deficiencies in conventional preclinical toxicity testing methodologies, which are often unable to reliably predict human responses to new […]
