Free speech is among the most cherished rights we enjoy as Americans. This right, legally enshrined in our constitution, has set us apart as a beacon of freedom around the world. Even as we take action to reject censorship at home, we see troubling instances of foreign governments and foreign officials picking up the slack. In some instances, foreign officials have taken flagrant censorship actions against U.S. tech companies and U.S. citizens and residents when they have no authority to do so.
Today, I am announcing a new visa restriction policy that will apply to foreign nationals who are responsible for censorship of protected expression in the United States. It is unacceptable for foreign officials to issue or threaten arrest warrants on U.S. citizens or U.S. residents for social media posts on American platforms while physically present on U.S. soil. It is similarly unacceptable for foreign officials to demand that American tech platforms adopt global content moderation policies or engage in censorship activity that reaches beyond their authority and into the United States. We will not tolerate encroachments upon American sovereignty, especially when such encroachments undermine the exercise of our fundamental right to free speech.
This is what America First policy looks like.
Does this apply to dual citizenship people who do t allow citizens to say certain things about the citizens of that other country.
Rubio has surprised me so much.
Would that apply to those with diplomatic immunity? I know that they can be declared "persona non grata" but that's all I know.
"Daddy, why can't we go to Disney World? You promised!"
"Don't worry Maggie, I'll take us to Disney in Paris."
"Daddy - NO ONE WANTS TO GO TO PARIS!"
