Cooley today filed an amicus brief on behalf of social and racial justice nonprofits in TikTok Inc. and ByteDance Ltd. v. Merrick B. Garland (US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit) challenging the federal legislation banning TikTok, a social media app with more than 170 million users in the US. Representing an amicus coalition of more than a dozen US social and racial justice community nonprofits, Cooley’s brief challenges the constitutionality of the recently enacted Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (PAFACA). If sustained, PAFACA would silence protected expression by these nonprofits and the diverse communities they represent. Read more about the case, the brief and the Cooley effort led by Matt Nguyen, Kathleen Hartnett and Travis LeBlanc, alongside Jamie Robertson, Robert Denniston and Hilarie Laing, with assistance from summer associates Hersh Gupta and Tarel Dean Dennie ➡ https://bit.ly/3L2KX5K #amici #appellate #socialmedia #TikTok

The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act (DMCC), which became law on 23 May 2024, represents a major shift in UK digital, competition and consumer protection regulation. In particular, the DMCC: ✍️ Introduces a new regulatory regime for large digital firms ✍️ Significantly widens the enforcement remit of the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in consumer protection – particularly in relation to online activities. ✍️ Gives the CMA broader powers to review mergers and conduct investigations.
