My piece on CSE's bulk metadata surveillance program, based on 4,000 secret documents obtained through BCCLA litigation.
Today, we're sharing over 4,000 never-before-seen pages detailing the Communications Security Establishment’s (CSE) surveillance practices. These documents paint a picture of a powerful spy agency in dire need of oversight. Read our commentary today: https://t.co/oy9yb2pLHI

1/9 On 1Mar23, @utahlegislature passed the DAO Amendments, which implement the proposition of the @coalaglobal Model Law on DAOs, and bestow unregistered/unwrapped DAOs treatment equivalent to that of LLCs, so long as they fulfill certain requirements. https://t.co/75A7rK7zxm

I tweeted briefly yesterday about property and copyright in NFTs in response to the story that Seth Green's planned White Horse Tavern show might be on hold due to the theft of the Bored Ape NFT it was based on. Today, I want to spell out the issues in a little more detail. 1/

Making it impossible for people to participate in society is not a path to de-radicalization.
Directing banks to "review their relationship" with *anyone* involved in the Convoy, and provide information to CSIS (!?!) and the RCMP is HUGE. This has massive implications for the lives of the people in this thing, and I don't know if they've realized this. ⬇️

Holy crap. This is a massive expansion of existing authorities / capabilities in Canadian law. We don’t have all the details yet, but here’s my first take: emergency law is bad law. 🧵 #FluTrucksClan

Tell me a DAO didn't just spend 3 million dollars because they don't understand how copyright law works. 🤦♂️

In his 2014 novel The Peripheral, @greatdismal plunges us into a far-future London, radically depopulated, quietly authoritarian, and under the iron thumb of "the Klept" - a fusion of the British chumocracy with post-Soviet Eurasian kleptoracy. https://t.co/R0kAgApEO1 1/

1/ Over the past 6 months, @David_M_Kerr and I have been researching several legal issues facing many DAOs (liability, taxes, contracting, etc.) that are beginning to emerge and that threaten their viability. Today, we published a potential solution.👇 https://t.co/eB6XiR1a5R
