I question this, and really, their availability.

With prep-time, any prosecutor and crew could dig up every tiny detail about you in about a week, including every single site any related IP addresses to you have been to and how much time you spend there and all of your dns queries.

But here, on the spot. "You tell us".

Their lack of effort is correlated to the amount of spite they have for any individual person. It's like using a magnifying glass. If they actually gave a shit, they wouldn't have to ask.

• gets rejected at the border because officer doesn't believe person doesn't have social media accounts
• ???
• no profit

Ah damn, I was a state actor who was going to smuggle in sleeper agents to perform sabotage and espionage in the US, but I can't figure out how to create a fake social media profile. I admit defeat.

I imagine this is what will happen even though it's absurd. Like it's actively going to become detrimental to not be trackable via an online presence connected to your identity because there are people who are mad that you won't let them invade your privacy. Lol

Not American jobs, mind you...

Are kids living under helicopter parents that want them to study abroad even allowed to have a social media account by the parents?

This will be a boon for stalkers.

At least you're not a teenager that has ever expressed any sympathy for Palestinians. Those are the real threat.

well, have burner social media accounts as well

They say they will find those "with AI". And they will, for true or for false, because they only want another weapon to use against the "undesirables".

That is a fucking terrible idea. If they later find it, they'll lock you up and maybe later throw you out. The financial risk makes no sense.

There is no rule against deleting accounts, my friend.

Actually they ask for the last five years, deleted or not.

It already is happening. Source: a person getting a visa now-ish.

But one shouldn't have to.

“Yeah, I don’t have one. Cheers.”

Find what?

I haven't had "traditional" social media for years and what I did have has since been deleted, or so I'm told.

It’s because the morons running the country don’t think that constitutional freedoms apply to non-citizens. No freedom of speech if your speech hurts their feelings. Fuckin aye

There are plenty of schools in Europe. There is no reason for essentially the equivalent of 1930s Jewish people to study in essentially Hitler's Germany in the 30s right when the smarter people were getting out.
