> Revocation and renewal are much different things
As best I can tell, the State Department exercises the same of rules (enshrined in law) during both renewal and revocation.
The adjacent thread points out that visa eligibility already contains explicit proscriptions around expression: advocating for a designated terrorist group makes one ineligible for a visa, per federal law. I'm not aware of any challenge to that rule that's been mounted on 1A grounds.
(I don't think anything Trump says about the Take It Down Act is relevant here. That's an entirely separate miscarriage of justice that does have 1A relevance.)

And I’m going to use that bill for myself too if you don’t mind, because nobody gets treated worse than I do online, nobody.”
