        I can’t imagine there are very many people doing this. You can just go to the one in Paris for a fraction of the cost and travel time. You can’t see the Grand Canyon in Europe, though.

          suspect you can’t imagine much if that’s your limit.

          trust me, shit tons of people from other countries come to disney world and land.

          not endorsing it, but that is the reality.

            Did you have a bad day or something? Of course a lot of European visitors go to the parks. What I’m saying is that the number of Europeans visiting the US specifically to go to Disney Land or World is probably negligible.

      Many people who think it’s not that bad yet and they’re right that they’ll probably be ok. I know many people traveling to other hellhole countries. They’re not scared. So if there’s a congress they need to attend in the States, they go.

    This seems like an effort to generate kompromat on every tourist to the US.

    Names and addresses of every family member.

    Probably an outrageous amount of access to your phone, it directly mentions location services.

    10 years of emails, and 5 years of social media.

    Biometric data and DNA samples.

    The amount of espionage you could use this for is staggering. And I garuantee Palantir will get its hands on it.

        I get your point but you don’t seem to get how serious the situation is. As a german I always wondered why there were so many Jews still around in Germany in the late 30s. Now I understand better. It’s a slow process of pushing each day what is tolerated to be said and done. Also it’s a bitter pill to accept your own country is turning against you or your loved ones.

        But maybe we’ll also throw you in some cage and send you to a torture dungeon in a random country of our choosing if we feel like it.

      scary

      Define fascism and then check how much was already fulfilled 10 or 20 years ago.

      Also check the biography of German chancelor Merz, especially his former employer.

      * Downvotes for what? This is not a pro fascism comment.

      To answer my questions, most requirements of fascism are already fulfilled so we are mostly just dropping the fassade. This includes Europe because Merz has worked for Blackrock, so his worldview very likely supports the neoliberal approach that is also driving the US.

        it’s not helpful either…

          Thanks. I have added the answer. I had assumed that by now almost everybody knows about Blackrock.

    Boy the original NAZIs would have loved to have genetic data on everyone, once they got rolling on the Holocaust.

    I wonder if IBM will help with the next one, too?

    What the actual mother fucking deep fried double wide inbred corn sucking bull shit are these god damn cunts doing now? Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and all his carpenter friends sigh. I’d apologies on behalf of my country, but I don’t think enough of it truly cares enough for it to mean anything, so instead I’ll just say run, and quickly.

    So, if 1% 2-5% of idiots travel to USA and get their DNA taken & saved in a database, estimations say, that 100% of EU citizens could be identified, if I’m not wrong.

    This is so f*cking scary. But it already was before with this 23andme or FamilyTreeDNA-shit.

    Edit: corrected statistics

      Nah. I think it will be difficult to throw over existing data security regulations. Both in EU and national level. But the concern is valid. We don’t want that
