Judge: #Trump can’t deport #researchers just for working in #contentModeration
This week, the Coalition for Independent Technology Research (CITR) won a key battle in its fight to reverse a visa-restriction policy that the Trump administration had used to attempt to revoke #greencards and #deport non-US citizens who work on #misinformation , #disinformation , fact-checking, content moderation, #compliance , and trust and safety.
In an opinion published Tuesday, US District Judge James Boasberg granted a preliminary #injunction blocking the #StateDepartment from enforcing the policy until the CITR’s lawsuit is resolved.
On its face, the policy does not require #visa denials or #deportations. Instead, it authorizes #immigration investigations into individuals suspected of helping foreign adversaries attempt to manipulate public opinion by suppressing US speech.

@inyourbits Interesting article, approach and experiment. I'll give it a spin!
Nevertheless, I'd like to point out this: Assume everyone's wrangling their code now.
- Now you have one more ultra-high value target to attack. Let's say since we're all specialists in fending off exactly those expectable types of attacks and sufficient funds to pay the defenders of the wrangler materialize and thus, this does not become a problem.
- Wrangler will yield results and findings. It is likely to end up, rightfully so, stopping builds and deliveries. Those findings will be, given the usual quality of software, vibed/llm'd or not, the usual huge laundry list. Or regular smaller lists.
This brings us to the age-old problem of how do you get the resolution or even triaging of the laundry list financed and prioritized on the regular and early enough?
Usually this comes down to creating the appropriate levels of risk perception and urgency at the right levels. Something that the European CRA and its US cousins are the latest attempt at.
Of course, this needs to be paired with feasible, low barrier of entry ways of resolution through tooling and education during higher ed.Unfortunately that's where I see a large gap.
There is virtually zero education on the reality and dynamics of FOSS in higher ed. (EU perspective)
Even though safe and smart use of FOSS will be the daily business of likely 80+% of new grads throughout their career.And that's only the technical, i.e. security aspect of FOSS. The legal aspects are usually fully ans wilfully ignored until the first letters or claims arrive.
Absolutely untenable conditions if we're comparing it with other engineering domains such as structural engineering if you ask me.

The Conditional Button
The mid-block crosswalk at a flashing-yellow pedestrian signal does work. A pedestrian presses the button, the overhead lights flash yellow, drivers slow or stop, and the pedestrian crosses. The system responds visibly, with no covert work happening underneath. The button does what it claims. But the same system also fails, often, in ways that have nothing to do with the button itself and everything to do with what is wired several layers behind it. A reader pointed out that drivers in his city tend to keep rolling through the flashing yellow if the pedestrian is still on the curb, and only stop once the pedestrian commits to the street. The same reader noted that drivers in his town do not give flashing yellow signals the obedience they give to red lights. Here in Jersey City the same mid-block button gets a more reliable yield because the lights are tied to traffic enforcement cameras, and drivers know that yield failures can become citations they actually have to pay. The button works because what is wired behind it works.
The conditional button is the fourth kind in this series. Placebo buttons claimed to do something and did nothing. Honest buttons stopped claiming to do anything and openly instructed the user. Dishonest buttons pretended to be innocent while doing covert work. The conditional button does exactly what it claims, but the result of that claim depends on systems the user cannot see and did not choose. It is honest about itself but dependent on conditions it has no control over.
The driver pulling up to a mid-block flashing yellow runs three calculations in roughly the time it takes to lift the foot from the accelerator. First, is the pedestrian committed enough to step into the street? Second, is there a camera mounted somewhere that will record a yield failure? Third, is there any enforcement infrastructure attached to that camera that will turn a recording into a citation, a citation into a fine, and a fine into a consequence the driver will actually feel? The yield rate at any given flashing yellow is the sum of those three calculations across all drivers, weighted by how often each driver is paying attention. A jurisdiction that has invested in all three inputs gets pedestrian yields close to red-light obedience. One that has installed the lights but not the cameras gets the rolling-yield behavior. Cameras installed without follow-through to fines produce a brief honeymoon of compliance followed by gradual return to rolling-yield as drivers learn the system has no teeth.
This is the diagnostic feature of the conditional button. The button is the same in all three jurisdictions. A flashing yellow is the same color, the same intensity, the same height above the crosswalk no matter where it sits. The pedestrian doing the pressing is doing the same press. What varies is invisible to the pedestrian and to the driver in the moment of decision, which is whether the recording infrastructure, the citation infrastructure, and the enforcement infrastructure are all wired up and functional. A pedestrian standing at a flashing yellow in Jersey City and a pedestrian standing at a flashing yellow in a smaller town fifty miles away are pressing the same button. Only one of them is being protected by the press.
The pattern extends well beyond crosswalks. A school-zone speed sign that flashes during arrival and dismissal hours is a conditional button activated by time of day. The sign works in jurisdictions where the local police treat school-zone speeding as a priority and write citations during the flash hours. That same sign in a jurisdiction where school-zone enforcement is rare gets the same kind of rolling compliance the mid-block crosswalk gets. School-zone flashing lights are not dishonest about what they are doing. They are conditional on enforcement that may or may not arrive.
A red-light camera at an urban intersection is a more visible version of the same pattern. The camera takes a photograph of every vehicle that enters the intersection after the light has turned red, and an algorithm reads the license plate, and a human reviews the algorithm’s reading, and the human signs off on the citation, and the citation gets mailed to the registered owner. Each step in that chain can fail. Cameras can go unmaintained. Algorithms can misread. Human review can be backlogged. Mailings can be delayed past the statutory limit for issuing citations. An intersection where all five steps work reliably produces stopping behavior at red lights that approaches the textbook ideal. The same intersection where any step is broken produces gradually deteriorating compliance as drivers learn that the camera no longer produces consequences. The light is the same red. The brake pedal is the same physical object in the same physical location relative to the driver’s foot. Compliance is conditional on infrastructure three layers behind the light.
Workplace policies are conditional buttons of a different kind. An employee handbook prohibits a particular behavior. The prohibition is the button. The compliance depends on whether anyone in management notices the violation, whether the manager who notices is willing to write it up, whether HR processes the writeup, whether the writeup translates into a documented consequence, and whether the documented consequence affects the employee’s compensation, advancement, or continued employment. Many corporate handbooks contain prohibitions that have not been enforced in years, and the employees know which ones those are, and the prohibitions function as posted instructions in a building no one is inspecting. The handbook is honest about the rule. The rule is conditional on enforcement that has been quietly defunded.
Tax law is the largest conditional button in American civic life. The Internal Revenue Service publishes thousands of pages of regulations describing what taxpayers must do, what they must not do, and what consequences attach to violations. The compliance rate with the published rules tracks the audit rate with high precision. Audits declined for most of the past fifteen years as IRS enforcement budgets were cut, particularly for high-income returns and complex business structures, and the compliance shift the budget cuts predicted followed the cuts with high precision. The rules stayed the same while the rate at which they were enforced changed, and the compliance changed with the enforcement rate. Tax cheating is a conditional behavior. The conditional input is the audit rate, and the audit rate is a budget line item.
This is the civic structure the conditional button reveals. A jurisdiction that wants citizens to comply with a rule has to fund the enforcement chain that makes compliance produce consequences. The visible part of the system, which is the button or the sign or the rule or the law, is the cheap part. The expensive part is the camera, the citation processor, the auditor, the inspector, the prosecutor, the court, the collection system, and the political will to keep all of them funded. A jurisdiction that funds only the visible part of the system gets the appearance of compliance infrastructure without the function. A jurisdiction that funds the entire chain gets pedestrian safety, road safety, workplace safety, and tax revenue at rates other jurisdictions would consider implausible.
The inequality this produces between jurisdictions is the moral feature of the conditional button. A pedestrian in Jersey City has a better chance of crossing safely at a flashing yellow than a pedestrian in a small town in a state that does not fund traffic enforcement. The product is the same while the protection varies. Cities with the budget to fund the full enforcement chain protect their pedestrians, and cities without that budget watch their pedestrians take their chances. The injury and fatality rates follow the budget. The conditional button is a fairness problem with infrastructure across its surface and politics underneath.
There is also a behavioral discovery the commenter noted that fits this category. The commenter has developed the habit of making direct eye contact with drivers while crossing, and that eye contact produces better yields than passive waiting. This is a documented finding in traffic psychology going back decades. A driver who has been seen by a specific pedestrian has lost the deniability that comes with anonymous flow. The eye contact is a kind of citizen-level enforcement that operates in the gap left by missing camera enforcement. A pedestrian who looks the driver in the eye is supplying out of pocket the witness function that the missing camera was supposed to provide. Conditional buttons can be supplemented by individual behavior. That supplementation is exhausting and should not be required.
The fix for the conditional button is the boring one, which is to fund the full enforcement chain rather than just the visible signaling layer. Cities that want their flashing-yellow crosswalks to work should pay for the cameras, the citation processors, the appeal staff, and the political position that defends automated enforcement against the predictable backlash. Cities that cannot afford the full chain should be honest about the limits of the signaling layer rather than installing more flashing yellows and hoping for the best. A flashing yellow without enforcement infrastructure is an aspiration dressed up as a safety system. Selling it to residents as a safety system is the only dishonest part of the conditional button, and the dishonesty lives in the political claim rather than in the button itself.
The four buttons now describe a complete small civic taxonomy: the placebo button claims to give you control and does nothing; the honest button stops pretending and tells you what to do; the dishonest button looks innocent and runs covert work underneath; the conditional button does what it claims, but only when the layers behind it are funded and functional. The pedestrian standing at the mid-block crosswalk in Jersey City is pressing the same button as the pedestrian fifty miles away. Both pedestrians live in different countries, and the difference between those countries is wired behind the buttons, not visible in them.

This is a documented finding in traffic psychology going back decades. A driver who has been seen by a specific pedestrian has lost the deniability that comes with anonymous flow. The eye contact is a kind of citizen-level enforcement that operates in the gap left by missing camera enforcement. A pedestrian who looks the driver in the eye is supplying out of pocket the witness function that the missing camera was supposed to provide. Conditional buttons can be supplemented by individual behavior. That supplementation is exhausting and should not be required.
The fix for the conditional button is the boring one, which is to fund the full enforcement chain rather than just the visible signaling layer. Cities that want their flashing-yellow crosswalks to work should pay for the cameras, the citation processors, the appeal staff, and the political position that defends automated enforcement against the predictable backlash. Cities that cannot afford the full chain should be honest about the limits of the signaling layer rather than installing more flashing yellows and hoping for the best. A flashing yellow without enforcement infrastructure is an aspiration dressed up as a safety system.

The four buttons now describe a complete small civic taxonomy: the placebo button claims to give you control and does nothing; the honest button stops pretending and tells you what to do; the dishonest button looks innocent and runs covert work underneath; the conditional button does what it claims, but only when the layers behind it are funded and functional.

The Conditional Button
The mid-block crosswalk at a flashing-yellow pedestrian signal does work. A pedestrian presses the button, the overhead lights flash yellow, drivers slow or stop, and the pedestrian crosses. The system responds visibly, with no covert work happening underneath. The button does what it claims. But the same system also fails, often, in ways that have nothing to do with the button itself and everything to do with what is wired several layers behind it. A reader pointed out that drivers in his city tend to keep rolling through the flashing yellow if the pedestrian is still on the curb, and only stop once the pedestrian commits to the street. The same reader noted that drivers in his town do not give flashing yellow signals the obedience they give to red lights. Here in Jersey City the same mid-block button gets a more reliable yield because the lights are tied to traffic enforcement cameras, and drivers know that yield failures can become citations they actually have to pay. The button works because what is wired behind it works.
The conditional button is the fourth kind in this series. Placebo buttons claimed to do something and did nothing. Honest buttons stopped claiming to do anything and openly instructed the user. Dishonest buttons pretended to be innocent while doing covert work. The conditional button does exactly what it claims, but the result of that claim depends on systems the user cannot see and did not choose. It is honest about itself but dependent on conditions it has no control over.
The driver pulling up to a mid-block flashing yellow runs three calculations in roughly the time it takes to lift the foot from the accelerator. First, is the pedestrian committed enough to step into the street? Second, is there a camera mounted somewhere that will record a yield failure? Third, is there any enforcement infrastructure attached to that camera that will turn a recording into a citation, a citation into a fine, and a fine into a consequence the driver will actually feel? The yield rate at any given flashing yellow is the sum of those three calculations across all drivers, weighted by how often each driver is paying attention. A jurisdiction that has invested in all three inputs gets pedestrian yields close to red-light obedience. One that has installed the lights but not the cameras gets the rolling-yield behavior. Cameras installed without follow-through to fines produce a brief honeymoon of compliance followed by gradual return to rolling-yield as drivers learn the system has no teeth.
This is the diagnostic feature of the conditional button. The button is the same in all three jurisdictions. A flashing yellow is the same color, the same intensity, the same height above the crosswalk no matter where it sits. The pedestrian doing the pressing is doing the same press. What varies is invisible to the pedestrian and to the driver in the moment of decision, which is whether the recording infrastructure, the citation infrastructure, and the enforcement infrastructure are all wired up and functional. A pedestrian standing at a flashing yellow in Jersey City and a pedestrian standing at a flashing yellow in a smaller town fifty miles away are pressing the same button. Only one of them is being protected by the press.
The pattern extends well beyond crosswalks. A school-zone speed sign that flashes during arrival and dismissal hours is a conditional button activated by time of day. The sign works in jurisdictions where the local police treat school-zone speeding as a priority and write citations during the flash hours. That same sign in a jurisdiction where school-zone enforcement is rare gets the same kind of rolling compliance the mid-block crosswalk gets. School-zone flashing lights are not dishonest about what they are doing. They are conditional on enforcement that may or may not arrive.
A red-light camera at an urban intersection is a more visible version of the same pattern. The camera takes a photograph of every vehicle that enters the intersection after the light has turned red, and an algorithm reads the license plate, and a human reviews the algorithm’s reading, and the human signs off on the citation, and the citation gets mailed to the registered owner. Each step in that chain can fail. Cameras can go unmaintained. Algorithms can misread. Human review can be backlogged. Mailings can be delayed past the statutory limit for issuing citations. An intersection where all five steps work reliably produces stopping behavior at red lights that approaches the textbook ideal. The same intersection where any step is broken produces gradually deteriorating compliance as drivers learn that the camera no longer produces consequences. The light is the same red. The brake pedal is the same physical object in the same physical location relative to the driver’s foot. Compliance is conditional on infrastructure three layers behind the light.
Workplace policies are conditional buttons of a different kind. An employee handbook prohibits a particular behavior. The prohibition is the button. The compliance depends on whether anyone in management notices the violation, whether the manager who notices is willing to write it up, whether HR processes the writeup, whether the writeup translates into a documented consequence, and whether the documented consequence affects the employee’s compensation, advancement, or continued employment. Many corporate handbooks contain prohibitions that have not been enforced in years, and the employees know which ones those are, and the prohibitions function as posted instructions in a building no one is inspecting. The handbook is honest about the rule. The rule is conditional on enforcement that has been quietly defunded.
Tax law is the largest conditional button in American civic life. The Internal Revenue Service publishes thousands of pages of regulations describing what taxpayers must do, what they must not do, and what consequences attach to violations. The compliance rate with the published rules tracks the audit rate with high precision. Audits declined for most of the past fifteen years as IRS enforcement budgets were cut, particularly for high-income returns and complex business structures, and the compliance shift the budget cuts predicted followed the cuts with high precision. The rules stayed the same while the rate at which they were enforced changed, and the compliance changed with the enforcement rate. Tax cheating is a conditional behavior. The conditional input is the audit rate, and the audit rate is a budget line item.
This is the civic structure the conditional button reveals. A jurisdiction that wants citizens to comply with a rule has to fund the enforcement chain that makes compliance produce consequences. The visible part of the system, which is the button or the sign or the rule or the law, is the cheap part. The expensive part is the camera, the citation processor, the auditor, the inspector, the prosecutor, the court, the collection system, and the political will to keep all of them funded. A jurisdiction that funds only the visible part of the system gets the appearance of compliance infrastructure without the function. A jurisdiction that funds the entire chain gets pedestrian safety, road safety, workplace safety, and tax revenue at rates other jurisdictions would consider implausible.
The inequality this produces between jurisdictions is the moral feature of the conditional button. A pedestrian in Jersey City has a better chance of crossing safely at a flashing yellow than a pedestrian in a small town in a state that does not fund traffic enforcement. The product is the same while the protection varies. Cities with the budget to fund the full enforcement chain protect their pedestrians, and cities without that budget watch their pedestrians take their chances. The injury and fatality rates follow the budget. The conditional button is a fairness problem with infrastructure across its surface and politics underneath.
There is also a behavioral discovery the commenter noted that fits this category. The commenter has developed the habit of making direct eye contact with drivers while crossing, and that eye contact produces better yields than passive waiting. This is a documented finding in traffic psychology going back decades. A driver who has been seen by a specific pedestrian has lost the deniability that comes with anonymous flow.

Digitale Inkompetenz in sensiblen Bereichen – ein persönlicher Frustbericht
Wir schreiben das Jahr 2025.
Und doch fühlt es sich in vielen Bereichen an wie 1995.Ich musste kürzlich indirekt mit einer Klinik in Kontakt treten – es geht um eine medizinische Angelegenheit. Im Vorfeld sollen relevante Unterlagen übermittelt werden: über 30 MB an PDF-Dateien, voll mit Befunden, Laborwerten, Anmeldeinformationen – alles höchst sensible, personenbezogene - ja, KRITISCHE - Gesundheitsdaten.
Die Klinik bietet keine Plattform für den sicheren digitalen Austausch an. Kein Patientenportal, keine verschlüsselte Uploadmöglichkeit, kein Hinweis auf DSGVO-konforme Alternativen. Gar nichts.
Also nutze ich, wie schon in anderen Fällen, unsere eigene kleine Nextcloud-Instanz. DSGVO-konform, selbst gehoste... Dateien hochgeladen, Freigabelink erstellt und per E-Mail verschickt.Was dann passiert, ist ein Symptom:
Ein Mitarbeiter*in der Klinik meldet sich zurück – es kann nicht auf den Link zugegriffen werden. Keine Details. Kein Hinweis, was genau nicht funktioniert. Nur: „Es geht nicht.“
Zusätzlich scheint es die mündliche(?) Regel zu geben, keine Bilder ansehen zu dürfen. Bilder? Zu dem Link hat Apple Mail das Standardlogo von Nextcloud („icon.png“) angehängt. Kein Trackingpixel, kein Skript, kein Link dahinter. Einfach nur ein Logo. Und dieses PNG-File soll ein Sicherheitsrisiko darstellen? Während die 30+ MB sensibelster Daten lieber unsicher per E-Mail verschickt werden sollen? Nochmal zum Verständnis: PNGs: NO! PDFs: GO!Ernsthaft: In welcher Welt stellt ein Bild ein Sicherheitsrisiko dar? Und in welcher Welt stellen PDFs dann kein Risiko dar? Der völlige Verzicht auf ein sicheres Datenübertragungsverfahren ist okay?
Ich erlebe das leider nicht zum ersten Mal. Besonders in medizinischen, sozialen oder behördlichen Einrichtungen scheint moderne IT-Sicherheit und digitale Kommunikation immer noch als überflüssiger Luxus oder „technisches Gedöns“ gesehen zu werden. Statt aktiver Problemlösung regiert das Prinzip: „Haben wir noch nie so gemacht – also lassen wir’s.“
Dabei geht es nicht nur um meine Frustration als technikaffiner Mensch, sondern um etwas viel Tieferes:
- Menschen in schwierigen Lebenslagen müssen sich durch bürokratische, technische oder schlichtweg ignorante Hürden kämpfen, obwohl sie eigentlich Hilfe bräuchten. "Wenn wir die Daten nicht erhalten, können (=wollen) wir Ihnen nicht helfen". Datensicherheit ist zweitrangig.
- Daten mit höchster Schutzbedürftigkeit werden regelmäßig per E-Mail oder Fax durch die Republik geschoben. Obwohl wir nicht nur sicherere, sondern auch einfacherere, und effizientere Lösungen hätten.
- Kliniken, Behörden und Praxen bremsen aktiv sinnvolle digitale Prozesse aus – oft aus Inkompetenz, Desinteresse oder weil irgendeine Compliance-Regel falsch interpretiert wird.Und dann ist da noch die andere Seite:
Ich will der betreffenden Sachbearbeiter*in Person nicht einmal per se Böswilligkeit unterstellen. Wahrscheinlich ist es schlicht Überforderung. Hat nie eine Schulung erhalten. Sieht IT als (zu) „komplex“ oder „fremd“.
Das ist auch ein strukturelles Problem. Kliniken und soziale Einrichtungen müssen Menschen im Kundenkontakt digital schulen. Es ist nicht optional.Wenn jemand an der Schnittstelle zu Patienten oder Angehörigen sitzt – und dann nicht weiß, wie man einen Link aufruft oder einen sicheren Datentransfer durchführt – dann liegt der Fehler nicht bei der Person allein, sondern beim System, das sie dort arbeiten lässt. Ohne Support, ohne Schulung, ohne Bewusstsein.
Aber irgendwann ist es natürlich auch eine persönliche Verantwortung.
Wenn ich Auto fahren will, muss ich auch wissen, wie ich tanken oder laden kann.
Wenn ich die Schnittstelle zum Kunden darstelle und digitale Kommunikation abwickle – dann muss ich zumindest die Grundlagen kennen. Oder mir Hilfe holen. Oder sagen: „Ich verstehe das nicht, ich brauche Unterstützung.“
Aber einfach „geht nicht“ zu sagen – ohne zu hinterfragen – ist in so einem Kontext schlicht unprofessionell. Und ich unterstelle 2025 jedem das Wort "Datensicherheit" mal gehört zu haben.Was mich besonders ärgert:
Es ist ohnehin gerade eine herausfordernde Zeit. Es ist für viele Personen wahrscheinlich bereits emotional belastend, überhaupt mit einer Klinik zu tun zu haben. Und obwohl viele Menschen auf Hilfe angewiesen sind, habe ich das Gefühl, deren Prozesse tragen dazu bei, dass alles noch schwerer wird.
Weil sie es seit über 15 Jahren verpassen, eine vernünftige IT-Strategie umzusetzen.
Weil sie Sicherheit mit Inflexibilität verwechseln.
Weil sie glauben, „Compliance“ heißt, alles zu blockieren, was man nicht versteht – statt echte Lösungen zu ermöglichen. Statt ECHTE Security umzusetzen.Dabei gäbe es diese Lösungen längst:
- Open Source Tools wie Nextcloud, CryptPad, Seafile etc.
- DSGVO-konforme Cloudlösungen, selbst gehostet oder professionell betrieben
- Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung, verschlüsselte Links, zeitlich begrenzte Freigaben
- Klare Prozesse für Datenaustausch mit Patienten, Angehörigen, Dritten
- Und vor allem: Menschen, die geschult werden, damit sie all das auch nutzen könnenAll das kostet weniger, als man denkt. Und bringt mehr, als die meisten ahnen.
Fazit:
Ich bin müde, jedes Mal auf technische Inkompetenz zu stoßen, wenn es ernst wird. Wenn Menschen mit psychischen, körperlichen oder sozialen Problemen auf ein funktionierendes System angewiesen sind – und dann an „Wir brauchen die Daten, aber wir haben keine Möglichkeit die Daten sicher zu übertragen“ scheitern.Wir brauchen echte digitale Kompetenz – gerade im Gesundheits- und Sozialwesen.
Wir brauchen weniger Blockadehaltung und mehr Verantwortungsgefühl.
Und wir brauchen ein Ende dieser tief sitzenden Angst vor allem, was mit IT zu tun hat. Denn wer heute in diesen Bereichen arbeitet, muss digitale Kompetenz als Teil der beruflichen Grundausstattung begreifen.Sonst versagen wir dort, wo es am meisten zählt.
