Trump Administration Requests Account Data Criticizing Immigration on Google and Meta

The New York Times reported on Saturday that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, during the Trump administration, issued hundreds of administrative subpoenas to Google and Meta, requesting information about accounts that criticize the policies of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

U.S. officials and employees of the companies confirmed that these actions reignited the debate over user privacy and freedom of expression on social media platforms.
