    So yet another dealbreaker for their booming tourism industry!

    Yet another masterstroke by the current regime, bravo!


    What would happen to us who has refused Facebook, Instagram and only held a reddit account on mainstream media, a reddit account that was refreshed every 2-3 years, and eventually removed in favor of Lemmy, and where I am considering another refresh and moving to Piefed?

    I am only asking as I am interested in logistics and finding how things work.

    This could include IP addresses, metadata from uploaded photos, and biometric identifiers such as facial images, fingerprints, DNA, and iris data.

    I already hate the collection of fingerprints. DNA and iris is simply ridiculous.

    Not gonna happen.

    The US has really nothing good to do these days… Dont count on me, family and friends to visit this abomination of a country in this life time.

      Consider Canada, safer and friendlier, with lots of maple and snow! If you want of course.

    This will get easier and easier as foreign travel to the USA fizzles out toward ‘none’

    So what happens if you say you don’t have any social media? Do they just accept it ?

    In addition, travelers could be asked to submit any phone numbers used in the last five years, email addresses from the last 10 years, and more detailed information about their family members, including names, dates of birth, addresses, and contact details.

    The fuck

    I sympathize with people who have close family there. Besides them, I don’t see the problem. Why would anyone choose to voluntarily visit a country, where they can refuse you at customs for not wanting to share your life story with the regime. There are so many other completely nice destinations, where visitors don’t get tackled by the local sturmtruppen for looking foreign.

    I will visit America again… if Trump and his cronies are either in jail or dancing at the end of a rope, gun control is established and a new political system is implemented. Until this point? I rather visit North Korea.
