The State Department has put in place a policy in which those foreign nationals who were involved in the censorship of Americans, companies, and foreigners within the United States will see their visas denied under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

The new policy would allow for sanctions coming in the form of visa denials for targets on free speech, including foreign officials who threaten to arrest social media firm representatives, or the freezing of their assets. Visas can also be denied for foreign officials who demand that American companies follow foreign censorship demands in the form of “content moderation policies.”
