  • U.S. and European Authorities Actively Pursue COVID-19 Price Gouging Violations
    U.S. and European authorities actively pursue COVID-19 price gouging violations 20 April 2020 The COVID-19 crisis has led to increased scrutiny of pricing decisions by competition and consumer protection authorities around the world. Already, we have seen a rise in state, federal, and international enforcement efforts in response to rapidly increasing complaints of price gouging activity related to products that are in high demand or designated as essential by statute or executive action as a result of the crisis. In light of this, companies should be aware of several aspects of price gouging laws and recent enforcement activity: First, normal supply and demand rules may not apply during a crisis – that is, sellers who normally respond to increased demand by increasing prices may violate state price gouging laws which prohibit price increases over a certain amount during emergencies. Second, online marketplaces (i.e., platforms) are also facing scrutiny from state and federal regulators for allowing sellers to price gouge on their sites. Whether online marketplaces can be held liable for the pricing practices of their users will likely vary based on state law, the potential application of certain defenses, and the characteristics of the specific platform. Third, price gouging laws and enforcement priorities vary state-by-state and country-by- country. A single pricing decision may be lawful in one jurisdiction but unlawful in another. Fourth, responses to price gouging during this pandemic are still evolving. Some jurisdictions have taken executive and legislative actions to bolster their existing price gouging laws to allow for a more targeted response to the COVID-19 crisis, and more are sure to follow.

  • Joint Statement by Law Enforcement Leaders on Protecting Voters
    Joint Statement by Law Enforcement Leaders on Protecting Voters As law enforcement leaders, elected prosecutors, and chief legal officers of our jurisdictions, we know that the right to vote is fundamental to our democracy and our identity as Americans, regardless of political affiliation. It is a constitutional right and, ultimately, a public trust and safety issue. Public trust in democracy, the rule of law, and the integrity of our government is integral to public safety. When one system is attacked and fails, it compromises the ability of all systems to function, including our criminal justice system. And when communities do not trust us, we cannot effectively keep them safe. Efforts to interfere with the United States Postal Service imperil the democratic process and erode confidence in the integrity of all government systems. Within the context of a pandemic, we should already be deeply concerned that crowds at polling places will endanger our residents. And now, recent threats and intimidation tactics, including deploying law enforcement to police the polls, raises the prospect of voter intimidation, damaging bonds of trust between law enforcement and communities they serve. This is playing out at a time when the number of Americans expressing confidence in law enforcement has fallen to an all-time low. That is why, as leaders charged with protecting public safety, we call for free and fair elections and condemn efforts to interfere with the Postal Service and undermine the voting process. It is more important than ever that we protect the integrity of our democracy, and, in the era of COVID-19, the ability to vote by mail is essential to protecting our cherished democratic process.

  • FAKE NEWS!”: President Trump’S Campaign Against the Media on @Realdonaldtrump and Reactions to It on Twitter
    “FAKE NEWS!”: President Trump’s Campaign Against the Media on @realdonaldtrump and Reactions To It on Twitter A PEORIA Project White Paper Michael Cornfield GWU Graduate School of Political Management [email protected] April 10, 2019 This report was made possible by a generous grant from William Madway. SUMMARY: This white paper examines President Trump’s campaign to fan distrust of the news media (Fox News excepted) through his tweeting of the phrase “Fake News (Media).” The report identifies and illustrates eight delegitimation techniques found in the twenty-five most retweeted Trump tweets containing that phrase between January 1, 2017 and August 31, 2018. The report also looks at direct responses and public reactions to those tweets, as found respectively on the comment thread at @realdonaldtrump and in random samples (N = 2500) of US computer-based tweets containing the term on the days in that time period of his most retweeted “Fake News” tweets. Along with the high percentage of retweets built into this search, the sample exhibits techniques and patterns of response which are identified and illustrated. The main findings: ● The term “fake news” emerged in public usage in October 2016 to describe hoaxes, rumors, and false alarms, primarily in connection with the Trump-Clinton presidential contest and its electoral result. ● President-elect Trump adopted the term, intensified it into “Fake News,” and directed it at “Fake News Media” starting in December 2016-January 2017. 1 ● Subsequently, the term has been used on Twitter largely in relation to Trump tweets that deploy it. In other words, “Fake News” rarely appears on Twitter referring to something other than what Trump is tweeting about.

Several documentation projects have emerged in re- sponse to this presidency to track attacks on the press.8 * Executive Director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press (RCFP).
