America is a hellhole country. I feel sorry for any sane American living there and even more sorry for the racist agendas magas that somehow continue to support this rampant removal of human equality.

Fuck Trump Fuck the Trump administration

And fuck and single American they supports this. Monster. Then entire fucking lot of you.

How is their Intel so bad that they can't even find the social media handles of immigrants themselves. I thought the Zucc gave the feds whatever info they ask for

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I mean maybe they could, if they had any employees left...

I only had fb but I gave that up in 2016. The only things I have now are my old reddit account that I haven't used in a few years except to view occasionally but will not post, comment, or like anything. This Lemmy account is all I got and I am OK with that. It's insane that we are considered the weird ones.

Pretty sure this was already part of the ESTA visa application form that tourists need to fill in. Don't get me wrong; it's fucking bullshit as an entry or as a citizenship requirement. Just saying it's not a new form of Orwellian overreach for the US government.

[–] elgordino@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago

It’s optional for an ESTA, you can just skip right over it. It sounds like they want to make it compulsory

[–] lmuel@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 week ago

So… what if one doesn’t use social media? Are they gonna believe that?

I used to have LinkedIn and now I only have this Lemmy account which isn’t directly tied to any of my personal details… Good luck linking that?

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 9 points 1 week ago

Force

about as likely as having any immigrants

...oh, that's probably the point.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

OK. It's realDonaldTrump. Don't look it up though, I'm a real maniac!

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Don't have any. Although I also don't want to immigrate to the US

[–] boreengreen@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Don't have any? Detained!

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

“I don’t have any social media!” He announced on social media

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are web forums social media now?

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

When did they stop being social media?

[–] double_quack@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

They ALREADY do it while filling the ESTA form, or the DS-160 (to request any visa)... so, no news here...
