The power and influence of billionaire tech companies over the government is enormous. Ofcourse workers don't have any rights in america, none is lobbying for them lol, nobody in Washington is fighting for us

• A measure you would normally impose on convicted criminals or terrorist leaders is now being used by the U.S. against these three people:
  • former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was responsible for European legislation including on social media;
  • Imran Ahmed, who researches online hate, A US judge has temporarily blocked the detention of British social media campaigner Imran Ahmed, who took legal action against the US government over having his visa removed. Mr Ahmed, a US permanent resident, had warned that being detained and possibly deported would tear him away from his American wife and child. 😳;
  • and Clare Melford, who maps disinformation with her organization.

All three are now banned from entering the United States because they criticize and restrict American social media platforms such as X and Facebook.
