Right to Exclusion, Government Spaces, and Speech: by Torsha Sarkar — published Jul 02, 2021 — last modified Jul 02, 2021 12:05 PM — filed under: Freedom of Speech and Expression, Intermediary Liability, Information Technology
The conclusion of the litigation surrounding Trump blocking its critiques on Twitter brings to forefront two less-discussed aspects of intermediary liability: a) if social media platforms could be compelled to ‘carry’ speech under any established legal principles, thereby limiting their right to exclude users or speech, and b) whether users have a constitutional right to access social media spaces of elected officials. This essay analyzes these issues under the American law, as well as draws parallel for India, in light of the ongoing litigation around the suspension of advocate Sanjay Hegde’s Twitter account.

The US 301 Report – A Myopic View of IP Rights: by Nehaa Chaudhari — published Jun 24, 2015 — filed under: Intellectual Property Rights, Access to Knowledge
Varun Baliga and Nehaa Chaudhari discuss the 2015 US 301 Report, focussing on its narrow and convenient understanding of IP rights. A farrago of contradictions, it supports a rightsholder-centric view but not when the right, Geographical Indicator, is not to their liking. Similarly, the emphasis on the rights themselves gives short shrift to critical exceptions and limitations that also enhance and incentivize innovation, the ostensible purpose of IP.
