When I read that the US had proposed making ESTA visitors hand over five years of their social media, I asked myself, would I even want to go there now? Then I went looking at where all that information ends up. Part 1 of my Five Eyes series.
At least the scariest in the range of “developed countries”.
For your own personal answer, stand in front of a mirror and hold a brown paper bag next to your face.
I live here and if I did not I would in no way come for a visit even if I had the means since the ice stuff started. Seriously. Places that have unmarked paramilitary randomly kidnapping people and renditioning them to foreign gulags. I mean that should be a no go regardless of what country it is.
That sounds so inefficient. They have Palantier and still need to ask you for what you have done on social media?
No, absolutely not the scariest and likely never will be… But I gotta wonder, what if someone really doesn’t use any social media and then when visiting they get stopped and they got nothing to show? I feel like they’re gonna get accused of “hiding” and denied entry…
And yet here we are. I never had a social media account, been here longer than the internet and always thought Facebook stupid af. Now what?

Never left the EU, living in the Nordics. Here you could dance naked on the border road/bridge and no one would blink an eye. But that does sound like how it has looked like in the TV…
I think the only logical procedure is, they suspect that person of hiding that kind of information, and they start digging for evidence against them.
Now that I thought about this a bit more, freshly made empty social media profiles would be even more suspicious… Huh. Would the person need to make full-on fake profiles long before the actual trip? I know I plan my travels early, but never ever have had to add a date in calendar for making the decoy social media profiles.

No not even close.
OP hasn’t seen vids of guys getting flayed alive by mexican cartel. Lmao scariest. White boy living in suburbs thinks some cameras are scary.
Clearly haven’t bothered to read the article. I never said it was… Clearly there are others.
