you wouldn't go to Russia for vacation, why would you go to America?

people dont visit countries that are fun by genocidal, fascist mafias.

Anybody who goes to the USA for tourism these days frankly deserves what they get. It's not as if we don't have six months of ever-increasing US shitfuckery to warn us!

I fear the day you’ll have to stop laughing too.

I imagine they'll just deny visas to all those cases. Unfortunately they're under no obligation to provide visas to people who don't use social media.

They can use it as an excuse to arrest people

Obviously they'll just search for the username in their "metadata only" database to check if you were lying. It's just like taxes: they know about everything already, they just want to check if you're honest or can add another datapoint to hang you with.

As a tourist applying for USA visa waiver they wanted social media username/links. But they only had slots for Facebook, twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. Apparently fediverse hasn't hit their radar.

Still a ridiculous requirement. They weren't requiring a list of everyone you talked to in the last 12 months, copies of letters/emails, and your diary 30 years ago.
