Ok, idea, The rest of the world demands access to 5 years of US citizens social media to enter their countries. Deny Nazi/Fash/Maga from leaving the US.
Most maga can’t afford to leave the country much less their own state.
while true, there are a boat load of wealthy republicans that would NOT pass a social media check
Indubitably.
I finally got to use that word, thank you good sir.
Nah fuck that. The non-Nazis can come over, and we’ll have a barbie 🇺🇸🇦🇺🦐🍻
A lot of Americans on the right famiously doesnt own a passport and doesn’t leave the country. You are more or less playing into their hand…
I’m more worried about the politicians :)
A lot of Americans on the right famiously doesnt own a passport and doesn’t leave the country.
But why would you leave the Greatest Country on Earth™?
Good idea. Let’s just do what the fascists are doing. That’ll show them!
I mean, we’ve tried not reciprocating.
They literally don’t get anything until it’s happening to them, and the US left NEVER makees it happen to them.
For the rest of the world it’s a smart idea, who would want self proclaimed domestic terrorists into their country?
I feel deeply sorry for the poor EU agent who has to sift through the depravity that likely exists on your average MAGA twat’s phone. You hear about those police staff members who have to view all the CSAM to investigate it and how it traumatises them, this would be the next tier down
People, PLEASE stop coming to America. The government doesn’t want you here. Also, it’s not safe at all.
If the earning reports of hotel REITs are anything to go by that is exactly what’s happening.
Make Murica Great Again or something…
Read between the lines… 100 billion dollar bailout coming to aid the tourism businesses affected by the new rules…
His hotels…
Just like the farmer bailout due to the losses incurred from the tariffs
To be fair, the farmer bailout is a drop in the bucket of what they’re down over lost sales to China and higher fertilizer prices. Like, have the day you voted for and all that, but 12B is 1% of this years military budget.
The only way a fascist wins is with isolationism. DON’T let Trump who only represents 1 in 4 people keep you away. These clowns from Trump all the way down to ICE will all be either spending lengthy jail sentences or fodder for fusillade.
Murica, home of hatred and fear. and home of the spoiled. and the greedy. and the devious. and the self endulged. and the (fill in your favourite bad quality here, it 'll fit)
Trying to isolate the country from what used to be our allies, then take away all our rights and turn this degrading shithole into North Korea where the citizens are law bound to kiss their “leaders” ass and pretend it doesn’t fucking stink.
krasnov is adhering to PUTINS wishes.
Whether or not the states are being puppeted by Russia holding cards in the form of blackmail, this is exactly the kind of thing they would do to weaken the states
its is the foundation of geopolitics that russia uses.
Shouldn’t be hard for anyone from Europe. The EU already wants to monitor all the social media anyway. Plus age restrictions. The Aussie’s aren’t far behind either. And they have age restrictions now.
Do not visit the US
literally, I let my VISA expire and it was hard because I live on the frontier so I’ll miss out on a lot of things but it is not worth it
last time I needed to cross the border I was detained for an extra hour (not counting the queue) just because I didn’t cross during the pandemic
fuck the US, fuck fascism
I still remember a trip I took with my parents to Vancouver and Seattle. We are from Brazil.
The difference was night and day, especially the infrastructure, landscape, and the appearance of the people who worked there. Seattle felt much more somber and gray.
The only ones who seemed overtly happy were the waitresses, but since these jobs in the U.S. rely heavily on tips, it felt more like forced role-play to get extra money compared to the more down-to-earth Canadian customer service.
It’s amazing how much the US doesn’t want you to go there, even if it’s just to visit.
Despite all the mediocrity, there are some things to see there, but if that’s the authorities’ attitude (and this here is not the first example of it), yeah, I think I’ll skip.
It’s also to keep people in.
they really don’t seem to realize there’s an entire world of places out there to see…
If this shit passes, the EU should apply the same rule and when we find a fucking MAGAt, stamp “Entry Denied and Fuck Off!”
nah, that’s what that negativity wants. making that oil slick bigger.
As a Canadian, I won’t be travelling to the Republic of Gilead anytime soon. That country is becoming worse by the minute.
And since Americans think I’m Latino (I’m not), I don’t want to be shipped to El Salvador.
shipped to El Salvador.
I’m white as hell, but with the comments I make on the orange clown I’ll be shot into orbit in nothing more than a speedo (only because nudity is for the us a no ! no !! no !!! no !!! no !!! no way)
I’m thinking of visiting Montreal for beer. Crossing North from Vermont… y’all gonna kick my ass before I can spend that glorious USD $$ ?
You seem to confuse Canadians for Americans.
As a fellow American, we really don’t need any help looking bad at the moment, so you can stop now.
yeah, because tourism is doing so well now, we need more reasons to fuck over the industry
you know its bad when they dont report how tourism is doing in places like florida, texas. its 1-2 punch , anti-immigration policies has probably affected them severely, and the lack of tourism dollars to those welfare states.
No idea about Texas. Other than SXSW, I’m not aware of their tourism.
But for FL, Disney didn’t bend the knee hard enough. That’s a feature.
Don’t come here is the message they’re sending. The US is closed for business.
I am surprised the tourism industry is taking this so well. I mean Trump and company are literally doing anything they can to kill it off.
it comes with the territory. Working in U.S. tourism occaisionally means eating an inordinate amount of shit.
Sounds like taliban/fascist strategy: keep people apart and make everyone hate you so you can then claim you’re embattled because everyone rejects you.
They are learning from the Saudis and UAE
World cup season
Uhhhh, it’s more than their social media.
The new proposal would make it “mandatory” for ESTA applicants to provide US authorities with access to five years of their social media activity on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and X.
Visitors will also be required to provide information on what US authorities dub “high-value data fields,” meaning all of their phone numbers over the past five years and all of their e-mail addresses over the past 10. Moreover, they will be forced to provide personal details on family members as well as provide their own biometric data.
The proposal was published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, meaning that it will be open for public comment for 60 days, at which point it will become law unless challenged in court.
Checks SimpleLogin account… 230 email aliases to date… gg, I might need a few more pages to note all of those.
Plus, how tf are they going to know if you’re telling them about everything? This will just make people not visit.
For real, there really is no way for them to know for sure.
Also, I just remembered Apple has throwaway emails built in now, nobody will think to list those. So do you just go to jail straight away if you miss listing one of those, because you lied on a federal form?

Unfortunately, that probably depends on what color you are. They have taken a few whities, but that was probably just for show.
Our country isn’t really safe to visit right now, please come back if/when we’re better. Most Americans are sorry about this.
Really hope for a positive outcome. I would love to go visit my happy place on the Oregon coast again some day!
Nah I don’t believe so, the vast majority of the people doesn’t really care about privacy at all and they will gladly provide all the “required” information just to enter in the country. I guess they already know a lot of information about you (google account, biometric data in phones, GPS location, frecuent used apps…) and they just want you to provide even more information and tag you as an danger if you don’t answer exactly what they know about you.
230 email aliases to date
That looks suspicious and a lot of work, let’s just send you to and ICE detention facility until we decide what to do with you.
Can’t argue with that logic. I’ll report to my nearest border crossing if/when this passes to make things easier for everyone.
The Fourth Reich thanks you for your understanding!
The EU is already using that. Pick some other Reich that is still free.
What if you’re not a 15-year-old girl and therefore don’t have TikTok and Instagram are they going to arrest you? What a truly stupid country.
Emails? Wtf?
I was wondering why this ‘five years’ thing popped up now, because I’m pretty sure I’ve heard of it long ago.
The US was known for ages to be very shady at the borders, like circa fifteen years ago when they detained a security researcher who was travelling to a conference to tell about yet another of NSA’s shenanigans: they held him for hours, searched through his devices, and in the end denied entry.
I think that’s objectively worse than North Korea, they only check what you have with you as far as I’m aware
This is a shame honestly. I’ve just remembered about Lucas’ narrative art museum.
