Impressed with everyone at this @e08e6ce4 legal conference for completely ignoring the fairly strong earthquake (in an area that rarely experiences earthquakes) to calmly continue discussions on normative definitions of the concept of agency in digital propaganda. Priorities!
Told my students today that one of the cases in our readings happened at my college when I was a student there. Which means, yes, I’m old enough that events from my youth are now in textbooks….
