About us
TechFreedom, launched in 2011, digs deep into the hard policy and legal questions raised by technological change. We’re bullish on the future: for the most part, it’ll be great—if we let it. If those in power can resist the all-too-natural impulse for stability and control. The future isn’t a place we can design, it’s an ongoing, never-ending process of trial-and-error. In general, we’re for letting that process play out. Of course, it’ll be messy; it always has been. There will be real problems to confront; there always have been. But there are no tidy, top-down “solutions,” only adaptation, evolution, and policy frameworks that are better and worse at encouraging both. Crafting those frameworks is what we do. TechFreedom tries to write simple rules for a complex world—rules that focus on clear harms; rules can change and evolve over time; rules that leave people free to tinker, innovate and experiment; rules that unleash ingenuity rather than trying to direct it. In short, we teach policymakers how to be friends, not enemies, of the future.

The FCC's statutory authority on orbital debris is shakier than ever. Courts today are unlikely to find that the public interest alone gives a communications agency any such power: https://lnkd.in/gqmh9c75

NASA's non-interference questionnaire asks some important questions. But the right answers aren't technical, they're legal, and NASA lacks the authority to answer them:

Sunsetting Section 230 without a plan for replacing it is a reckless endeavor that would allow Congress to hold free speech and the open Internet hostage. We explained why in a letter to Congress:
