This is being talked about nowhere, but I think it deserves publicity. A New Hampshire cafe that had its Instagram account deleted just won a breach-of-contract action against Facebook over their Section 230 defense! Seacoast Online coverage

Neat coincidence that Section 230 features quite heavily in one of my newest essays. Happy 2024, all.

Housekeeping

I went snowboarding with some law school buddies early this month! Had a great time through the whole trip, but I feel like as soon as I got back there was an onslaught of bad tech policy in the news, haha.

On the bright side, I feel like I finally have a handle on the feel of this site. Front page looks very polished now, and I got around to drawing a great-looking and really symbolic logo: !Attachments/logo.png

It's a moon due to my goals for the site and digital gardening as a whole, and progressively more detailed to reflect the incremental, learn-in-public philosophy of gardening. Hopefully that second meaning is apparent by the 1/2 in the middle of it.

Pages
