I guess we can finally get clarification on whether or not forums are social media.
Imagine handing over a Hexbear username, lol
in other news, the market price of hacked credentials for MAGA-friendly social media accounts:
note
in case it is unclear to anyone: the above is a joke.
in all seriousness, renaming someone else's account and presenting it to CBP as one's own would be dangerous and inadvisable. a more prudent course of action at this time is to avoid traveling to the united states.
Of course, how would they know if you don't list any? Oh, that's right, PRISM. Fully expect that people who don't have social media accounts to get accused of having them simply because someone else shares the same name and did say First Amendment protected stuff, like Donald Trump is a terrible fucking president and should be impeached.
Sorry person with the last name Erdude. I guess you aren't getting into the US now.
I feel like I'm going to be responsible for Trump sending ICE to raid the Shady Pines community event planning committee that picks the color schemes for their weekly card games.
should be impeached
Impeached and then executed for treason.
lmao, their tourism is going to shrivel and die so fast
The attendance for the next FIFA cup was already looking bad, and I can't imagine the US government wanting your history of online activity to help it even a bit.
I can't wait to see high attendance in Mexico and Canada-hosted matches, with rock bottom attendance in the US. Even US fans travelling domestically, don't go, especially to the states that are falling into line with Trump.
Not that it will actually be recognized for what it is. I may put together a bingo card on the ways media spins it.
I've been boycotting the world cup for a decade because they can't stop giving the host status to horrible states
It already is.. Many people from Europe I know, now cancelled their plans.
Here officer my username is ifuckyourmum69
They want to stay by themselves? That's fine by me. But then they should also stop exporting their Hollywood and streaming turds (as well as their shit food). That would only be fair. And maybe also stop behaving like if they owned the entire planet?
Is there any way to practically check this? Surely just saying "i dont use the internet very much" is enough.
Lol I don't even remember most of my previous handles. If amnesia isn't a valid defense I'm never getting into the USA. Then again, I have no reason to visit shithole countries in the first place.
Nobody can and that will be use to prove that you lie on the form if they need to find something on you in the future.
The username requirement isn't anything new; that requirement was on our DS-160 years ago.
The "wants people to set their social media profiles to public" isn't quoted, so seems less like an official policy anywhere and more like one embassy worker being a prick. Unfortunately, each individual embassy operates independently totally devoid of any accountability.
This process is dehumanizing, inefficient, and totally fucked...but this particular part of it has been this was for a long-ass time.
Oh look, fake social media accounts used. Fantastic. No gaps here!
I can wait for @SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com to share those moths post for his embassy appointment
Holy crap. How is this even real?
