Every social media username? I figure most people are like me and lost most of them.

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 mean they make you sign away your rights and tell them if you’ve ever been affiliated with any one who was in or if you joined a communist party. So this is just another layer on the shit cake.

This is why I’ve already deleted basically everything, social media is a cancer that pushes us further and further apart and replaces meaningful interactions with vapid and shallow counterfeit interactions, it’s a net loss for anyone using it at this point.

Meanwhile, you post here :P

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.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 4 points 15 hours ago

Maybe that will finally kill off the giant amorphous blob of human rights violations known as FIFA

[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

Imagine handing over a Hexbear username, lol

in other news, the market price of hacked credentials for MAGA-friendly social media accounts:

📈

notein 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.

Who TF wants to set foot in that shithole banana republic anyway?
Stuff your visa, and return the favor and stay TF out of other people's countries.
That would be a welcome change.

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?

I guess we can finally get clarification on whether or not forums are social media.

Oh well, I wouldn't have been welcome anyway, seeing I've had the audacity to be critical of Israeli ~~genocide~~ defense, TACO and Daddy Put-it-in.

Guess I'll go spend my tourist money elsewhere.

Good luck. NYS couldn't even keep track of this requirement just for CCW permits.

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 13 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

Is there any way to practically check this? Surely just saying "i dont use the internet very much" is enough.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 8 points 21 hours ago

Suspicious, denied.

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.
