Another alternative is don't visit the US
ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Yup. It's unfortunate. I want to visit the US but it had become one of the countries I would not visit alongside China because of Orwellian surveillance.
Exactly this. On the plus side, Canada is a great country to visit too.
The surveillance in USA isn't remotely like China. Having spent time in both places.
And there's no law or actual requirement to turn over your social media history, this was some shit that Trump said, not a new law or bill.
Not yet.
I mean, we have cameras this big now --> o
We also have AI systems for parsing vast amounts of data and predicting human behavior, we have giant, international corporations using all of this tech. Are you in the EU? Are you in Canada? Or any "developed" nation? Because this isn't going to be a USA/China problem, this is going to be a worldwide problem as we shift globally to techno-oligarchy as a global ruling system.
Reminder to everyone already canceling their plans: this is a proposal and not even a very serious one because the logistics and legal changes around it could be a nightmare. This is more "some shit the Trump admin said" and not necessarily ever going to pass as law.
This tweet is from motherfucking polymarket and if you don't immediately suspect that source, you've gone too far and touched too much grass.
Bold of you to assume other countries won't start doing the same thing.
Authoritarianism is on the rise.
Lol .... I'm ojibway Canadian, an indigenous person from Canada. I speak my language fluently and I even read and write it (although at a very basic level).
The symbols you used are a variation of syllabics that we use to write my language.
I immediately tried to read it before realizing after a minute what you were doing.
Lol ... I had a good laugh about it
