U.S. Bars Ex-EU Tech Chief Over Social Media Posts

The United States has denied entry visas to several European citizens, including a former top EU tech regulator. Officials cited the individuals' social media activity as the reason. Thierry Breton, who helped create major EU digital laws, called the move a "witch hunt." He stated the visa denials were linked to past online posts about the U.S. The incident highlights how nations increasingly scrutinize social media histories during border checks. The specific posts and U.S. laws invoked have not been made public. Breton and the others were reportedly traveling for a conference. The U.S. government has not commented on the individual cases.
