Research

Current work looks at facts and their processing in US law in two complementary projects. Analysis of the over 1,000 federal statutes that criminalize falsity is eliciting a framework from existing law that will be of use as we continue to think about how to govern disinformation. Analysis of the ways in which US constitutional law distinguishes among types of betboom esports processing for purposes of differential legal treatment will do the same for the governance of algorithms and AI.
