Comment on Australian comedian ditches US trip due to concern she could be denied entry over Trump jokes

There’s no actual evidence to suggest it’s being used to silence criticism in the USA either though. This woman didn’t go to the USA. She didn’t get denied entry.

There is lots of anecdotal evidence of people who have been critical of trumps on social media being denied entry, including high profile cases.

Anecdotal means nothing. Most are just like this, fear mongering where it didn’t actually happen.

You’re missing the point. This anecdotal evidence is where it did happen and is verified by the media It’s painting a patter of vis refusal for online criticism of Trump.
