NEW YORK: The chief of a prominent anti-disinformation watchdog has sued President Donald Trump’s administration over a US entry ban, calling it an “unconstitutional” attempt to expel the permanent American resident, court filings showed Wednesday.
Imran Ahmed, a British national who heads the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), was among five European figures involved in tech regulation whom the US State Department said Tuesday would be denied visas.
The department accused them of attempting to “coerce” US-based social media platforms into censoring viewpoints they oppose. The European Union and several member states strongly condemned the move and vowed to defend Europe’s regulatory autonomy.
