It was a denial of service attack caused by their sole voter that can afford a high bandwidth internet connection accidentally logging onto their website.
I was brought to the US as a child in 2001, my parents applied for permanent residence, were declined, but stayed anyway. I was then deported in 2008 after being arrested for petty shoplifting then reported to ICE. Was also arrested for a couple of other things around this same time (shoplifting, fighting) but never convicted of anything serious (I was a problematic teenager). Upon deportation I was initially given a 3 year bar, since I was deported about 8 months after my 18th birthday.
Since then, I have lived in my homeland in Europe, and am now almost 30 years old, and have had a clean record the past 11 years, except for one stupid incident in 2016 where I got in a street fight and got a common assault conviction (no jail time, just a few hours community service).
My dad is still in the USA (undocumented). I have worked in technology for the past 11 years, CTO of my own startup. My question is, what are the odds of receiving a US visa to visit, given my transgressions as a teenager (and very stupid mistake 3 years ago)? It seems I am not ineligible under the crimes of moral turpitude clause, and my bar for overstay was up years ago, but I can't imagine my varous misdeeds make for the best impression.
Unofficially if I were to apply for something like an E-1 (which, I understand would require investing significant money in the USA) would that increase my odds?
Are there any steps I can take to make it likely in the future that I can receive a visitor visa?
It is almost universally accepted (outside of a few small echo chambers), men ("male bodied people") and women ("female bodied people") do have, on average, differing interests and propensities. Are you under the impression this isn't the case?
Trump's stance is anti illegal immigrant which should not affect any Google execs.
Re: approval ratings, its a moot point. Trump has enjoyed generally similar approval ratings to Obama (at most single digit percentage points lower) and ultimately won a free and fair election in a first world Republic.
Having the leaders of a global monopoly megacorporation display this kind of disdain for the elected leader of the country and everyone who supports him, and (by implication) similar populist leaders across Europe (and their supporters), is extremely, deeply, disconcerting.
In proper terms, perhaps, but things like Trump, Brexit, and strongly anti-immigrant, populist conservative, leaders like Salvini, Orban, etc., in Europe, are all generally placed in the same camp by the media.
Ultimately we are discussing the visible rage and despisement towards the winnning side of a national US election vote. That is incredibly concerning coming from a company as powerful as Google, and we know the same sentiment is shared across Hollywood and the mass media.
Of course this thread is guaranteed to be an absolute shit show, but it's revealing the level of intense emotiveness shown by your post and the one before it, and most of all by the Google execs.
Were this directed at a tiny ideological fraction of the population it could be OK, but we are talking about give or take half of the voters of the USA, UK, Poland, Hungary, Austria, etc., etc.
And when Google has such a near monopoly on massive swathes of the web that is quite concerning.
