Yeah, I don't think this is going to exactly help us recover from the massive drop in #tourism since his term started.

#Trump Wants People to Submit DNA Just to Get a #TouristVisa
Want to visit the USA? CBP will make you submit your social media history—and your family history & #DNA too.
#SocialMedia would become a “mandatory data element” , and all applicants would be required to submit a social media history going back five years.

I totally can't wait for this to roll out domestically.
Instead of taking off your belt, just hand over your phone.

US could demand five-year social media history from tourists before allowing entry

The U.S. proposes asking foreign tourists for five years of social media history before allowing them into the country. EFF’s Lisa Femia breaks down this breaks down this speech-chilling and privacy-invasive scheme for ABC Australia.

@eff
(Ignoring the #Xenophobia for the moment) Let's just say someone actually goes through the trouble of providing their "Social Media History":
How do you prove it's THEIRS?
How do you know they don't have multiple accounts?
Who decides what deems you ineligible to enter the country?
Who is going to sit and pour thru days/weeks/months of #SocialMedia posts?
#JFC are these people morons. No one ever accused #racists of being very bright. 🤦♂️
#Mastodon mentioned 🎉 🍾
As good an explanation of the toxicity #broligarchy as you can get in 15 mins
Not only is their a statement of the problem but also a four pronged solution for what’s aims OUR internet
I do not want Australia's Social Media age ID child ban to come to Canada. I urge Australia to do what's good for the world and repeal it today!

I’ve been following @pluralistic for a while, but I’ve never seen him interviewed. This was absolutely captivating. Truly. There were like fifteen bites I wanted to capture.
Cory is super smart. And his brain seems to work at the same speed my ADHD brain does, which helps me absorb what he’s saying.

Today we are calling on institutions around the world to take control of their #DigitalSovereignty, including their social accounts. Governments should communicate directly with their citizens on open platforms, not through the mouthpiece of a corporation.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/115689198997943088
I’m proud to share my first blog as @Mastodon’s Community Director. Well the first one posted under my name at least 😉
Digital social networking is one of the most important threads in the fabric of our societies. Right now, we’re letting that thread be controlled by social media platforms that let advertisements for scams stay up because they’re profitable, and that use their algorithms to run human research experiments on us without our consent. That’s not the society I want.
“By making the news and truth contingent on advertising budgets we’ve created an environment where any narrative can win, as long as the storyteller is willing to pay. If we allow these conditions to continue, we will leave behind the voices that truly matter; the people and their public institutions. It is critical that those voices not be silenced forever. The promise of the #fediverse is the promise of a better way forward: free from ads and manipulative algorithms built by and for people like you, where #SocialSovereignty is a right and not a privilege.”
In this thread, we asked folks to crowdsource a list of resources so you can find your local representative. Find them, contact them, and tell them this: if you care about a free and just future, and if you care about #DigitalSovereignty, you must leave X and join the fediverse.
Federated bonfire social space for those into gnarly adventures. From shredding mountains to guitars if you enjoy gnar, come share your stoke and adventures!
