The policy threatened visa revocation & even deportation of people who study online harms so @transparenttech@mastodon.social sued to challenge it.
This isn't the end of our case, but it's a major step. Many thanks to @knightcolumbia@mastodon.online, @protctdemocracy@mastodon.social, and all those who filed amicus briefs <3
I'll have more updates on this issue later this week, so watch this space!
