Imagine handing over a Hexbear username, lol
Is there any way to practically check this? Surely just saying “i dont use the internet very much” is enough.
in other news, the market price of hacked credentials for MAGA-friendly social media accounts:
📈
note
in case it is unclear to anyone: the above is a joke.
in all seriousness, renaming someone else’s account and presenting it to CBP as one’s own would be dangerous and inadvisable. a more prudent course of action at this time is to avoid traveling to the united states.
hey turns out our tech oligarchs are the ones spying on us and not the chinese, what a twist!
i mean just say you don’t have social media it’s not like they can access private social media databases
They can in fact access private social media databases.
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…
I totally understand your sentiment. Undoubtedly the USA is built on stolen land, much like Israel.
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.
Last 30 years of dismantling of civil liberties and it will continue
But at least gays got to marry ✊
They want to stay by themselves? That’s fine by me. But then they should also stop exporting their Hollywood and streaming turds (as well as their shit food). That would only be fair. And maybe also stop behaving like if they owned the entire planet?
lmao, their tourism is going to shrivel and die so fast
The attendance for the next FIFA cup was already looking bad, and I can’t imagine the US government wanting your history of online activity to help it even a bit.
I can’t wait to see high attendance in Mexico and Canada-hosted matches, with rock bottom attendance in the US. Even US fans travelling domestically, don’t go, especially to the states that are falling into line with Trump.
Not that it will actually be recognized for what it is. I may put together a bingo card on the ways media spins it.
I’ve been boycotting the world cup for a decade because they can’t stop giving the host status to horrible states
Yeah looking at the attendance for the world club competition is pretty bad.
People should boycott it outright.
The entire event industry is a front for sex trafficking.
It already is… Many people from Europe I know, now cancelled their plans.
Oh look, fake social media accounts used. Fantastic. No gaps here!
Of course, how would they know if you don’t list any? Oh, that’s right, PRISM. Fully expect that people who don’t have social media accounts to get accused of having them simply because someone else shares the same name and did say First Amendment protected stuff, like Donald Trump is a terrible fucking president and should be impeached.
Sorry person with the last name Erdude. I guess you aren’t getting into the US now.
should be impeached
Impeached and then executed for treason.
I feel like I’m going to be responsible for Trump sending ICE to raid the Shady Pines community event planning committee that picks the color schemes for their weekly card games.
it’s ok. my married name is Erdude but we spell it E’Rdude.
The username requirement isn’t anything new; that requirement was on our DS-160 years ago.
The “wants people to set their social media profiles to public” isn’t quoted, so seems less like an official policy anywhere and more like one embassy worker being a prick. Unfortunately, each individual embassy operates independently totally devoid of any accountability.
This process is dehumanizing, inefficient, and totally fucked…but this particular part of it has been this was for a long-ass time.

Fair enough, though that’s an ask from the State Dept., not a demand from the embassy, as indicated in the OP. It’s an important distinction because the embassy holds the authority at that point in the process. They can ignore the guidance altogether or demand everyone open their profiles. They’re probably more likely to do the latter now, but they could’ve done this two years ago too.
Demanding the usernames for the past 5 years and being suspect of anyone not on social media isn’t a new, that was my main point. I don’t think many people appreciated how shitfucked our visa processes are, even before the current “administration” helping.
Lol I don’t even remember most of my previous handles. If amnesia isn’t a valid defense I’m never getting into the USA. Then again, I have no reason to visit shithole countries in the first place.
Nobody can and that will be use to prove that you lie on the form if they need to find something on you in the future.
Here officer my username is ifuckyourmum69
Oh no, I can’t visit Amerikkkka now
Going there with a crappy handwritten letter including all 40’000 throw-away users I ever created
