New survey of Australian teenagers finds most did not comply with government's social media ban on under-16s. "Such bans are easy to circumvent, and being off a platform is individually costly when one’s peers remain on it." [Bursztyn, Sunstein et al. Cato research brief]

This paper by Cass Sunstein explores what it means to say the #Constitution is not "trapped in amber." Argues that constitutional interpretation inevitably relies on analogical reasoning & choices about the level of generality of constitutional principles. spkl.io/633207RUj4
