Washington, Dec. 5 -- The Trump administration on Wednesday announced increased vetting of applicants for H-1B visas for highly skilled workers, with an internal State Department memo saying anyone involved in "censorship" of free speech be considered for rejection. The cable, sent to all US missions on December 2, orders US consular officers to review resumes or LinkedIn profiles of H-1B applicants - and family members travelling with them - to see if they have worked in areas that include misinformation, disinformation, content moderation, fact-checking, compliance and online safety, among others.P17
