Uhhhh, it's more than their social media.
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.
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.
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.
Emails? Wtf?
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.
