    | The media inferred that the removal of Tank Man occurred at the
    | hands of Chinese engineers driven by China's censorship policies.
    | But by focusing only on foreign worksites, news outlets failed to
    | consider whether foreign workers within the United States may have
    | played a role in the censorship. It's important to remember that
    | Silicon Valley employs thousands of Chinese nationals via H-1B visas
    | and the controversial Optional Practical Training (OPT) program for
    | foreign "students". Microsoft's new information about the incident
    | makes it entirely possible that the censoring of Tank Man images
    | occurred in the United States by a Microsoft employee hired through
    | an immigration program.

    How did de-coupling from .CN poll in Bill Stepien's surveys and focus
    groups for Donald Trump's 2020 campaign?
