We are now four weeks out from our June 6th-7th conference in Boston, MA. With our 2026 Pirate National Conference: […] Hoist the Colours and Spill the Tea (20 Years a Pirate!) quickly approaching, we wanted to point you in the direction of some links.
The first link is for the conference itself. If you’re looking to sign up and attend in Boston, head over to this link and register today!
If you cannot make it in person: no problem. Every year, we have an online attendance option for those that cannot physically be in Boston.
Second, we have our candidate nomination form. Think you know someone who can help the United States Pirate Party going into the midterms? The Pirate National Committee board will be electing a new slate of candidates during this year’s conference.
People are allowed to self-nominate, and it’s advised you mention as much when you submit the form, but note that nominating someone ≠ they are a nominee. Individuals will still be asked to accept or decline their nominations.
That link is here.
The second link will close within the next two weeks, so get those nominations in while you can!

Dear Friend of Press Freedom:
Billionaires have been hard at work trading away your right to get the news without government interference, but we’re working just as hard to fight back. Read on for the latest press freedom news and how you can join us in standing up for press freedom.
Between the gutting of CBS News and reports of promises to remake CNN to appease the president, it’s clear that Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison and his father and financial backer, Larry Ellison, see press freedom as just another bargaining chip.
The public deserves to know if the Ellisons are trading editorial independence for regulatory favors. That’s why Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) and Reporters Without Borders filed a demand for records from Paramount Skydance, seeking to uncover the details of its dealings with the Trump administration as it tries to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, and in its past acquisition of Paramount.
And as Seth Stern, chief of advocacy at FPF, explains, “If the Ellisons can’t stand up to their friends in the administration and defend the First Amendment, they should stay away from the news business.”
FBI Director Kash Patel denies he’s been drunk on the job, but he’s certainly drunk on power.
The FBI has reportedly opened an investigation into Atlantic magazine journalist Sarah Fitzpatrick’s reporting on Patel’s alleged unexplained absences and drinking habits at the bureau. Patel is also reported to have ordered scores of staffers to be polygraphed as part of a panic-fueled leak hunt.
This is the second time in recent weeks we’ve learned that the FBI has baselessly investigated constitutionally protected, highly newsworthy reporting that was unfavorable to its director. The bureau’s actions “show complete disregard for the First Amendment and for the FBI’s supposed mission of stopping crime, not serving as PIs for its leadership on the taxpayer dime,” said FPF’s Stern.
Rainey Reitman, the president of FPF’s board, wrote for The Intercept about how financial institutions’ decision to cut off funds to the Southern Poverty Law Center after its widely criticized indictment could foreshadow attacks on others the administration dislikes, including the press.
“Given the Trump administration’s open hostility to journalism and its novel legal tactics to attack the press, it’s entirely possible that the next target of financial censorship could be a news outlet,” wrote Reitman, who recently released a book on financial censorship,“Transaction Denied: Big Finance’s Power to Punish Speech.”
The U.S. Virgin Islands is the site of news of both local and national importance, from military facilities to “Epstein Island.” But the U.S. territory’s public records and open meetings laws are badly outdated.
Thankfully, investigative journalist and U.S. Virgin Islands native Shirley L. Smith is helping to spearhead a campaign to modernize the transparency laws. Use our action center to tell local lawmakers to move quickly to improve transparency and accountability in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Former federal Freedom of Information Act officials will join FPF Daniel Ellsberg Chair on Government Secrecy Lauren Harper for a live webinar on Friday, May 15, at 2 p.m. ET to give practical advice for journalists on how to win documents from agencies and explain what to do when an agency prioritizes political interests over transparency.
Submit your questions ahead of time by emailing membership@freedom.press, and don’t forget to register to watch the webinar on May 15.
This week, legendary First Amendment lawyer Floyd Abrams and other experts joined FPF to talk about the dangers of Securities and Exchange Commission’s “gag rule,” which prohibits individuals who settle with the agency from disputing its allegations publicly. We discussed how the rule threatens First Amendment interests far beyond the financial sector, how such an unconstitutional prior restraint can persist for decades, and ongoing litigation seeking to strike down the rule.
National Public Radio
We need a court to affirm that presidential records are public property and categorically reject the radical idea that they’re personal property, FPF’s Harper explained on “1A.”
The New York Times
The Trump administration is taking its weaponization of immigration laws against journalists worldwide, but it won’t stop there. If it could, it would exile any reporter who dares to investigate the president and his allies, no matter where they’re from.
CNN
It’s great to see reporting on retaliation against incarcerated whistleblowers and news sources. But this kind of retaliation is certainly not limited to those who participate in reporting about Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplices — it should be covered regularly.
The Guardian
Strong anti-SLAPP legislation in every state and at the federal level would go a long way in assuring news outlets that they can publish the truth without being bankrupted by frivolous lawsuits.
Reinvent Albany
It’s absurd that in 2026, New York state agencies may still require public records appeals to be done via snail mail. FPF and other groups are urging state lawmakers to pass a new bill that would require agencies to accept electronic appeals.
Florida Trib
“The fact the [ICE partnership] program is inherently tied to local communities and local policing, and ICE is giving local law enforcement a gag order, is a slap in the face of taxpayers and the public at large,” explained FPF’s Harper.
Media Matters for America
Further proof that going on offense against the Trump administration’s censorial bullying works. Take these clowns to court — they lose regularly!
Correction: An earlier version of the newsletter item discussing financial censorship referred incorrectly to the name of the Southern Poverty Law Center. The error has been corrected.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Washington, D.C., May 8, 2026 — ABC is accusing the Federal Communications Commission of violating the First Amendment and chilling press freedom, in a regulatory filing in its dispute with the FCC over whether “The View” is a bona fide news program exempt from the agency’s equal time requirement.
The following can be attributed to Freedom of the Press Foundation Chief of Advocacy Seth Stern:
“We commend ABC for standing up for itself and the First Amendment. The legal theories the FCC asserts against broadcast licensees are frivolous and unconstitutional, and FCC Chair Brendan Carr knows it, but he hopes broadcast licensees will nonetheless self-censor rather than pick a fight.“It’s about time news outlets start telling Carr and his Donald Trump lapel pin to kick rocks. Otherwise, he’ll continue manufacturing bogus pretexts to harass and jawbone licensees that air content his boss doesn’t like. News outlets should be emboldened after seeing The New York Times, Media Matters, The Washington Post, and others go on offense against the administration in court and win. Carr won’t stop until a judge forces him to, and hopefully ABC plans to make that happen, both here and in Carr’s equally ridiculous retaliatory license renewal proceeding in response to comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s jokes.”

Do you remember the surprise announcement of a new social network in Davos this past January? Something that promised to be the "first" European social network?
Its name is #WSocial and it's a fork of #Bluesky. Its founders have ties with European politicians - but there is no official involvement by the EU.
You wouldn't know any of this from media reports because they all rehashed their talking points. So I wrote a post about it, dispelling some myths:

Some relevant updates.
Between March 26 and 29, we had the AtmosphereConf in Vancouver. People from W Social and Eurosky were there, and they even did presentations.
I feel like W Social relationship with Atproto devs is more amicable now, compared to their first impression, which wasn't that good.
During the conference, Eurosky announced they will take the infrastructure path, not building a social media themselves, but instead offering the infrastructure for European builders (for both atproto and activity pub btw).

A client tries to take a screenshot of a banking app but gets stopped by a security warning. This feature is meant to keep sensitive financial information safe.
On the other hand, social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook are built for sharing and connecting. Unless users set up privacy filters themselves, these platforms often allow wide access to user data. This makes users more vulnerable to cyber threats.
What do these two situations have in common? Both are using more artificial intelligence, but they still work very differently. The main difference might be about intent, responsibility, or control.
If technology can strongly protect users in one area, why does it seem so open in another?
A key question is whether artificial intelligence can be built with strong ethical limits that protect user data from the start, rather than adding them later.
Today, the gap between technology and users has narrowed significantly. Thanks to artificial intelligence, digital tools are easier to use, and convenience is now expected.
But as things get more convenient, systems also become more complicated. This added complexity brings more security concerns. Security is often promoted as a feature, set up, and managed, but it is not always guaranteed. Tools like privacy settings, consent forms, and reporting options help protect users, but only if people know how to use them.
This leads to another question: are users truly protected by design, or are they just expected to protect themselves?
As security worries grow, artificial intelligence is playing a bigger role in defending against cyber threats. Verification and compliance processes are changing quickly. Many modern systems now use AI to spot unusual activity, find suspicious behavior, and automate protection.
Research on Ethics-by-Design shows that values such as privacy, accountability, and fairness can be built into AI systems during development rather than added later.
Similarly, the field of AI alignment focuses on training systems to adhere to standards. In the same way, AI alignment is about training systems to follow human values and avoid causing harm. But research shows that these systems still struggle to fully understand complex human intentions. It continues to rest primarily with users. Systems may verify user identity, but they do not consistently account for user or third-party intent. While it may be argued that exploration entails consequences, it is necessary to consider whether such consequences should be severe enough to cause lasting harm to the user experience.
This raises a deeper question: can artificial intelligence be designed from the start to detect and address harmful or illegal intent or predict possible misuse? Can the focus of security measures be shifted towards the perpetrators’ perspective to prevent mishaps, rather than just protecting victims after the act?
This is not just a theoretical issue. Studies on AI misuse show that people can get around safeguards by using carefully worded prompts that hide harmful intentions. Large studies of real-world prompts show how easily these protections can be bypassed.
This highlights a big problem: while today’s AI systems are good at spotting patterns, they are much less reliable at understanding intent, especially when it is hidden or subtle.
Work has already been initiated to tackle these challenges. One growing area in AI safety is ‘red teaming,’ where systems are tested against simulated attackers before release to identify weaknesses.
This shows a move toward proactive design, where risks are anticipated and planned for rather than fixed after the fact. Methods like modular oversight aim to keep AI systems ethical throughout their whole life, not just treat safety as an afterthought.
These discussions are no longer limited to research labs or cybersecurity circles. They are increasingly becoming part of broader public and policy conversations around digital freedom, governance, and accountability.
One such platform is the upcoming Think Twice Conference, which will bring together policymakers, technologists, researchers, and civil society voices to examine the relationship between artificial intelligence, governance, and digital rights. The conference itself revolves around questions that closely mirror the concerns raised here: how can AI strengthen governance while protecting digital freedom, and how can digital freedom shape the governance of AI?
In many ways, the growing relevance of such forums reflects a broader reality: the conversation around AI safety is no longer just about innovation, but about the kind of digital society we are collectively designing.
Still, most systems today operate reactively, as seen in cybersecurity. They respond to misuse or breaches rather than preventing them before they occur.
For instance, the recent debate over age-verification laws clearly reflects this tension. Governments and digital platforms are increasingly exploring AI-backed age estimation and biometric verification systems to prevent minors from accessing harmful online spaces. Supporters believe that such systems represent a proactive step toward digital safety. Critics, however, argue that these measures would normalize surveillance, expand data collection, and create new privacy risks.
This debate highlights another underlying layer of the issue: can systems designed to prevent harm do so without compromising the very freedoms and privacy they are meant to protect?
Most modern systems focus on helping victims. They protect data after it has been exposed, fix problems after misuse occurs, and add filters only after harm has occurred. Hence, the loop of damage and repair continues.
Since misuse is not just possible but often expected, we need to ask whether systems should continue to be designed this way.
Until we solve this, ethical artificial intelligence might be judged more by the threats it misses than by the ones it stops. At this point, the idea may seem hypothetical or even unreasonable. But the history of innovation has repeatedly shown that solutions often emerge from perspectives, questions, and ideas that once seemed far-fetched. After all, isn’t that how progress begins?”
********************************************************************************************
We are perhaps at a juncture where conversations about AI ethics, transparency, fairness, governance, AI regulation, and digital freedom matter more than ever.
As mentioned before, spaces such as the upcoming Think Twice Conference seek to bring these questions into public dialogue, bringing together diverse ideas to debate how digital systems should evolve in the years ahead.
If these questions resonate with you, perhaps it is worth saving the date or even contributing your own perspective to the discussion.
