A MAJOR VICTORY FOR INDEPENDENT RESEARCHERS
Yesterday, a federal court temporarily blocked enforcement of a U.S. immigration policy that targets and censors non-citizen independent technology researchers. This policy provided for visa revocation and even deportation of people who study online harms and societal impacts of technology, sending a deep chilling effect across the CITR community. (1/3)

CITR just submitted a request to intervene on behalf of technology researchers in the X v. European Commission case to explain the importance of the DSA’s data access rules to the CJEU. The DSA mandates that tech companies give researchers access to public data to increase transparency about how platform algorithms shape our information landscape. X and other platforms have failed to comply with these obligations, and have instead shut researchers in our Coalition out.(½) https://independenttechresearch.org/citr-members-intervene-in-dsa-court-case-to-uphold-data-access-for-public-interest-research/
