Coalition Letter to the UN on Social Media and Device collection at U.S. Borders

The Free Speech Coalition joins a coalition of 26 organizations urging the United Nations to investigate reports that the United States is demanding visitors provide access to their electronic devices as well as passcodes to those devices and online accounts. These practices persist in violation of the United States human rights treaty obligations and action is needed to hold the government accountable for the protection of human rights at the U.S. borders, which are not zones of exclusion or exception.
