Trump Administration Targets H1B Visa Applicants in Content Moderation Crackdown
Update: 2025-12-05
Description
The Trump administration is reportedly rejecting H one B visa applicants involved in content moderation, labeling it as censorship. A State Department cable instructs consular officers to investigate applicants past work in areas like moderation, fact-checking, and online safety. If evidence of suppression of protected expression is found, applicants are deemed ineligible. This move, part of tightening immigration policies, has been criticized as incoherent and unconstitutional by the Knight First Amendment Institute.
