A coalition of technology researchers is suing the Trump administration, alleging that a new immigration policy is being used to suppress free speech and hinder online safety research. The lawsuit, filed by the Coalition for Independent Technology Research (CITR), argues that the administration's visa restriction policy unconstitutionally targets foreign-born researchers studying content moderation and disinformation. The researchers' legal team contends that this policy creates a chilling effect, preventing vital work on the societal impacts of technology and AI. The government, however, argues the policy targets conduct that facilitates foreign censorship, not speech itself. AI
