   Apparently when you travel to the US, free speech is not allowed. Vance comments in Europe about freedom and free speech sound more hollow then ever before.
   "The tactics have unnerved foreign tourists and sent a chill through immigrant communities in the United States, who say they are being targeted for speech — not for breaking any laws."

     @ErikJonker it’s time to also actively boycott science and tech conferences hosted on US soil https://boycott-ietf127.org/

     Now that the US can no longer guarantee the safety of those who travel to attend these conferences, it’s time to actively isolate them from the rest of the academic community.
