"Do you use Facebook?"
"No."
"Oh,"
"Hand over your green card, we can't have americans here who don't support our great tech companies by not having an accepted social media account".
There, problem solved.
Guess you'll need to buy me a computer and pay for my internet connection.
Not quite.
"Oh well, no social media account? No green card (nor rights in general)"
I'm saying this as a joke, but I think we're not far from seeing this happen. I'm pretty sure China's social score will be implemented in the US in short time.
Yeah as someone who deleted my Facebook and Twitter accounts years ago, and only uses Lemmy now, the people who are most concerned with how I can exist without said accounts are my MAGA family members. They would love the sort of black mirror style “everybody rate each other” system
You been randomly selected to visit an El Salvador death camp.
Just choke on a hamberder or overdose on covfefe already.
I should create an AI service to write tame social media profiles for a monthly fee.
Why is the American response to everything, How can I exploit this situation to make me more money
Because capitalism.
You could try to do it for free if you can, to help people that need it through no fault of their own.
I could, but I'm too lazy for any of this.
Trump knows he can. The MAGA base loves him doing this.
Hah! Joke’s on him I have a thousand accounts!!!! All of them would get me locked up. 🤪
And this is why a family member with a green card got their citizenship ahead of Trump winning the 1st election just in case.
sure, heres my social media accounts i dont use
