The United States is introducing a new visa ban rule for those who "censor" Americans posting comments on social media platforms that are owned by US tech firms. The announcement was made by US Secretary of State Maro Rubio.
Secretary Rubio said that it is "unacceptable" for foreign officials to attempt to "censor" Americans by threatening them with arrest warrants or other punitive actions in their country. He also said that visa bans would be implemented against foreign officials who demand content to be taken down or moderated on American tech platforms.
