As the founder and CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate,
Imran Ahmed specializes in researching how hate and disinformation
spread online. His work has made him a target of Elon Musk and the
Trump administration — he’s one of five European tech regulators
and researchers the White House wants to bar from the U.S. over
claims of “foreign censorship.” Ahmed, who’s a British national
based in the U.S., has sued to block his removal, and he’s not
backing down from a fight with the administration over his goal to
hold social media and AI companies accountable. Kara and Imran talk
about the work his organization does to combat the spread of hate
speech; why he thinks the Trump administration is targeting him at
the behest of Elon Musk; and the stakes of his case when it comes
to protections around free speech and immigration. They also talk
about why so many tech CEOs are threatened by efforts to rein in
the spread of disinformation on their platforms. Questions?
