U.S. to Deny Visas to Foreign Content Moderators

The U.S. State Department will begin denying visas to foreign nationals seeking to work as online content moderators. Officials cite concerns that these practices can lead to censorship. The policy specifically targets applicants for H-1B visas. Technology companies frequently use this visa category to hire specialized foreign workers. This move is part of a broader Trump administration campaign against social media companies. The administration argues that content moderation by these platforms unfairly silences certain viewpoints.
