What if you don’t have social media accounts?
This is stupid. This will not stop spies and terrorists, they will just create fake accounts. This will only hurt legitimate immigrants.
This is for non immigrant visas it says
What I said can be applied to any type of visa. The policy is not going to fix anything, it’s only going to invade peoples privacy and turn away legitimate visa applicants.
USA being USA
Btw don’t forget to switch instance
Seriously, what’s the advantage of having social media? Just seems like a liability with every account.
If you don’t have social media you must be “hiding” something and will be denied entry.
will be denied entry

Make a fake one that posts like… idk post random tech stuff that you could be reasonably interested in. Make nothing critical of authority. As a decoy profile.
Then you can rant about big brother on an anonymous Lemmy Account over TOR.
Finally a killer app for AI. Create social media profiles and use AI agents to populate them with bland uncontroversial drivel.
But a super recent account would be suspicious
You have to do this over a couple years
My US visa officer: what do you mean you did not have ‘social’ media accounts in 5 years? No, these weird sites don’t count. Underground terrorist? Straight to gulag.
“I don’t use social media”
If you’re a student, you must have something to hide, as everyone uses social media
But sir, the form only has space for four!
Sure why not, since my name is Anthony O’Neill. You can find my short form username: Anon.
What could they find? I bet I’m save.
I’m betting on the opposite problem,
We show here you’ve been VERY active. Please have a seat in this chair until we come for you.
You can find my short form username: Anon.
What could they find?
Yes, what possible community full of people named “Anon” could they find that would get you in any amount of trouble?
4chan. they call each other anon all the time

“Have you ever attempted to overthrow a government by force or violence?”
Non-Citizen MAGAt: sweats profusely
“Why? Is the CIA hiring?”
No, we were actually liberating it from oppression.
I don’t think that matters.
It doesn’t matter if you are trying to overthrow, say a US Adversary like Russia or China, its still counts. I guess the logic is: If you are willing to use violence in [Insert Country Here], how do we know you wont try it here?
A lot of the initial supporters of a revolution/coup gets purged so they don’t become a threat to the new authority themselves. Like hitler and the S.A. for example.
MAGAt supporters are just useful idiots, if they successfully fully take over, those same supporters now become the new threat that needs to be purged.
if they successfully fully take over, those same supporters now become the new threat
Quite a few of the current crop of deputized ICE agents are MAGA goons from four years ago. So long as you’re actively doing the gruesome work of ethnic cleansing, you’ll be given a pass.
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.
And soon you will be deleted due to lemm.ee closing
Meanwhile, you post here :P
“I am very intelligent.”
Oh well, I wouldn’t have been welcome anyway, seeing I’ve had the audacity to be critical of Israeli
genocidedefense, TACO and Daddy Put-it-in.Guess I’ll go spend my tourist money elsewhere.

Great decision
Every social media username? I figure most people are like me and lost most of them.
at this point, these companies would make a buck as lost accounts recovery services.
Good luck. NYS couldn’t even keep track of this requirement just for CCW permits.
America is such a fucking joke it’s no longer funny. I wish we could isolate the rest of the world from your madness but unfortunately we can’t.
As a Native American this attitude would be a lot more understandable and palatable if America wasn’t colonized…
These immigration raids and terror tactics are terrible on their own, but it’s especially absurd when Native Americans get caught up in it, and it just fully exposes how disingenuous and transparently racist the whole effort is. So I’m sorry that your peoples have to suffer even more because of this racist mindset.
From a January article:
”If you can’t say, ‘we’ve been here for time immemorial,’ then you’re an immigrant. You’re not from here, so who are you to classify our Indigenous people? These lands have been a melting pot for many ethnicities,” Hatathlie [a Native Arizona state Senator] said.
I heard another more recent example of a car full of Native Americans being pulled over, aggressively questioned, and asked for their papers, but I can’t seem to find it. It’s utterly shameful how we treat people.
Can the native Americans just kill the leader of the colonizing force?
I totally understand your sentiment. Undoubtedly the USA is built on stolen land, much like Israel.
and there are no illegals on stolen land.

Yeah, keeping our shit to ourselves has never really been our strong suit.
Sorry :(
As a Middle Easterner, I genuinely feel sorry for the non maga Americans, but unfortunately that’s your fight to fight.
Good luck.
And fight we do. I’ve considered myself an activist for almost 30 years now. I thought fighting for marriage equality was gonna be hard. I’m really not looking forward to this.
The comments are ridiculous.
People: if ThE cOuNTry sUcks, wHy doN’T aMeRiCAns dO anYthiNG aBOut iT?
Also people: LoL siLLy aMeRiCAn, AcTiviSm doESn’T wOrk
We’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t. Keep fighting the good fight. You’ve got a good decade on me, but I see you and I’m right there with you. ✊
[X] Doubt
“And fight we do” LOL
Unleash the devastating power of the Kumbaya warchant on your little stroll to the streets!
The regime will crumble before your eyes.Last 30 years of dismantling of civil liberties and it will continue
But at least gays got to marry ✊
That’s 5% max.
The Blue MAGA are just as bad for the world, they only cry now bcs they’re getting a taste of their own shit domestically.Depending on where you live in the world America has been pretty bad for a pretty long time. But I agree under this new technofascist oligarchy it will become a nightmare
For much of the world, it was already a nightmare
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.
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.
