Us visa policy: The US Donald Trump government has announced a major change in the visa policy. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has recently made a announcement that can give a new twist to the Global Digital Policy. From now on, if a foreign national in the US pressures American tech companies (Facebook, Twitter) to sensor the social media comments of Americans, then the person’s visa will be banned.

On the matter, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that if foreign nationals threaten arrest or punitive action against the comments made on any post in America, it will not be considered. If foreign government or officer demands censorship on the post done by American citizens on American social media platforms, then they will not be given a US visa.

What does the new American policy say?
According to the new American policy, freedom of expression has been considered one of America’s fundamental rights. Because of this, if any foreign officer pressures American social media firms to remove or revise the content, then it will also be the basis of visa ban. Foreign judicial action or arrest warrant will be interfered for their online statements on American citizens.

Which countries can affect?
Although no particular country was named in this statement, in recent years the European Union, Australia, Brazil, India and many Asian countries have imposed fine, notices and restrictions against social media platforms. In countries like India, when legal action is taken on political or religious comments on Twitter or Facebook and it will be found related to American citizens, in such a situation they may be prohibited from coming to America.

Global impact of American social media platform
America is owned by many social media platform firms in the world, including Meta (Mark Zuckerberg), X (Twitter) – Alan Musk, YouTube – Google. These platforms are the basis of the exchange of most digital things in the world. For this reason, the policy or legal order of any one country has a direct impact in America.
