"For years, #ImranAhmed has presented his research on how #techplatforms enable the spread of #antisemitism to receptive audiences across the ideological spectrum.
He’s worked with the #AntiDefamationLeague and #JewishFederations of North America; the latter credits Ahmed with the backbone of much of its own policy proposals[...]
He’s joined #Republicans in advocating for an end to #Section230, a law granting special protections to #socialmedia platforms. During the first #Trump administration, on the strength of his research, the #British-born Ahmed received a priority visa as an “alien of extraordinary ability” — the so-called “#Einsteinvisa,” after the German-born #Jewish physicist.
All of that only added to Ahmed’s befuddlement when, just before Christmas, the current Trump #StateDepartment announced it would be revoking his #visa because of what #SecretaryofState #MarcoRubio tweeted were “egregious acts of extraterritorial censorship.”
