Online #hate #researcher keeps hammering X despite #deportation threat

The US is not backing down from its fight to #deport #noncitizen technology researchers who monitor safety risks on the biggest online platforms.

In July, a judge blocked as #unconstitutional an #immigration policy that the US relied on to weigh whether to #detain and deport people who flag illegal or harmful online content as national #security risks. In his announcement of the policy, #SecretaryofState #MarcoRubio explained that by targeting a list of researchers—which he stood “ready and willing” to expand—the policy supposedly served to prevent foreign nationals from manipulating digital town squares and #censoring Americans.

Day 81:After a 3-day wait board a ship to Bougainville. I'm over the moon I'll reach the final destination of my 28,000km no-fly trip emitting the lowest possible amount of CO2.I want to know I did all I possibly could to prevent climate breakdown.I enjoy the beauty of the sunset one last time. 96/

I slow travel mainly to reduce my carbon footprint (by 10 times according to available estimates: see https://ourworldindata.org/travel-carbon-footprint ) but also to experience travel as most people in this world do.
