The US has the personnel to go through 5 years of every tourists personal social media history? I think fucking not.

If your social media history doesn't block you from access to the US, what the fuck are you even playing at?

They're still expecting tourists to visit? How cute!

Why would you visit America right now? I live in a major tourist zone, and I'm here to ask foreign tourists to go somewhere else right now. There are lots of nice places in the world, where the government will appreciate you visiting and spending your money. America isn't one of them.

I wonder what theyll do, when you legitimately dont have any social media.

Good thing I've been avoiding the US ever since the Patriot Act.

By the way, highly recommend Canada as a vacation destination.

I'm not visiting even if it's just for a connection flight

What a shithole country.

Weren't they already doing this? I could have sworn some French researcher was denied entry over this months ago.

The US can just go fuck itself

US could go fuck themselves. people should stay away from the fascist banana republic anyway

Imagine going to the US

This is like a man standing inside a fire saying "you're not allowed to step in this fire with me unless you hand over your information!"

Uhh no thanks, I'll stay out of the fire. Thanks. Nice try.

Id also want the social media history of tourists who are crazy enough to come to the US.

It's insane to think anyone would travel to the US as a tourist, or for work.

Imagine having the money to take a visit to the US and not using the money to visit someplace actually nice.

Yeah that's why I deleted my Facebook and Instagram accounts a couple weeks ago.

I deleted my Twitter account when Musk bought it.

I wonder if they check Mastodon though.

Although I won't be going back to the US for a long time anyway. 

Destroy the economy some more, please. Thank you.

All this winning's getting hard guys hard

At this point, he's got to be a Russian agent. He's pretty much single-handedly dismantled the United States on every level.

It would be interesting to see tourism numbers the last fre years

Could we citizens of the 5 eyes countries gag on the boot any harder ?

Fuck we are pathetic at what we take from our governments.

How do you provide this? Print my thousands of posts?

Do my Lemmy posts count? If not, I don't think I have anything in the last five years on the zuckerbergs

Create an account. And just post the same meme over and over and over. Don’t friend anyone. Don’t interact with any other posts.

As well as the collection of social media information, the new document proposes the gathering of an applicant's telephone numbers and email addresses used over the last five and 10 years respectively, and more information about their family members.

What if you have no social media?

I deleted it all over five years ago, Reddit almost 3 years ago.

Other than Lemmy that is. That's all I got if that counts as social media.

I feel like they wouldn't believe me though and deny me. How do you prove you don't have something?

I went to the US last year for a work conference knowing it was probably the last time i'd be going

USA is the new China 

America’s gonna need to kill their pedophile overlords before I think about stepping foot in there again.

The US could arbitrarily brutalize anyone for using the wrong flag emoji in their profile

Also, please don't delete your accounts

My life goal is to leave the US for more than five years and to entirely avoid social media. I want to discover and embody a life without screens in a place (or places) that is not a dumpster fire. Imagine just living an analog life in some village, occasionally visiting a city... traveling by train or bus, buying a ticket when you need one at a ticket counter or vend machine... Who knows if I would be allowed back in. Who knows what the US will look like in another 5-8 years (since I can't retire for another couple years). It may be I can't leave and will have to find a place here as off grid as I can get. I know my kid and their spouse may also want to take a powder from this shitshow.

And what if you say I don't have 'social' media, and you really don't haven any. Then what? I doubt the believe you.

They asked for social media accounts in the ESTA application for years. I never entered anything, it always went through

Yeah, I’m not stepping into America for a while. 

So?
any idiot wanting to go to that fascist shithole voluntarily can bend over and spread his ass cheeks AFAIC.
