"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.”

If you were wondering what Imran Ahmed of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate has done to get his US visa revoked?

It seems the Trump administration objects to; People drawing the attention of lawmakers to how US big tech spins a profit.

Google has become a prime funder of violent racist antisemitic content on the internet.
