ABSTRACT

In American law, the First Amendment is the bedrock of our liberties to express ourselves as human beings. Information, the international agency overseeing elections and managing digital communication infrastructure, is initially funded by a “massive settlement” by Coca-Cola for decades of peddling disinformation, as well as a “subsequent lawsuit, building on that precedent, which led directly to the cable news collapse.” Science fiction recommendations include shorter fixed copyright terms and microtransactions for settling minor infringement disputes. All legal scholarship does not need to be uniform, and taking some risks by creating plausible, even if not probable, hypothetical examples based on the visions of science fiction authors offers the opportunity to enhance scholarship in the field of media and communication law. Law professors Neil Richards and William Smart, for instance, warned of the “Android Fallacy” of allowing policy decisions be influenced based on anthropomorphic understandings of robots and artificial intelligence stemming from popular culture portrayals.
