Summary: Welcome to episode 287 (“Internet Archive Tragedy”) of the EdTech Situation Room from March 22, 2023, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wesley Fryer (@wfryer@mastodon.cloud) discussed the status of TikTok bans and proposed TikTok bans in the United States, social media, Section 230-related court cases, the death of Gordon Moore, and the Internet Archive versus Hachette court case involving library copyright and intellectual property. An FTC crackdown on hard-to-cancel gym memberships, Google's new Advertisement Transparency Center, and consumer Minecraft on Chromebooks were also topics Jason and Wes explored. They also discussed the "Spotify AI DJ" a little bit. Geeks of the Week included "Canva Create Event from Last Week," the “AI births digital humans” episode of "In Machines We Trust" podcast, the "Interior AI" website and service, and a video about "redteaming" AI ChatBots like ChatGPT.
