US bars five Europeans accused of censoring Americans

The State Department is barring five Europeans it accuses of leading efforts to pressure U.S. tech firms to censor or suppress American viewpoints. Secretary of State Marco Rubio characterized them as “radical” activists and “weaponized” nongovernmental organizations.

Rubio’s statement said the five Europeans advanced foreign government censorship campaigns against Americans and U.S. companies, which he said created “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences” for the U.S.
