The US embassy in Bangkok announced on Monday that all US visa applicants must set their social media accounts to public for screening.
The requirement is effective immediately and aims to enable screening to confirm applicants’ identity and legal admissibility, the embassy posted on its Facebook account.
You will have no civil liberties and you will obey. That is our future. A managed resource akin to cattle. With controlled populations for economic purposes.
Not having social media is a problem?
to confirm applicants’ identity
Social media accounts are not official, government-issued and thus not useful for this “stated” purpose.
Let’s be honest about what this is really about: suppression of criticism.
Gotta have more data to mine and sell, too… Gotta make a few bucks for the trouble of getting citizenship. “The start of a beautiful relationship” aka the start of monetizing more new data for those AI and big tech.
I wouldn’t go to that shithole even if it was the last piece of dry land on earth.
What if they don’t have any social media accounts?
Believe it or not, straight to jail.
Oh, I believe it.
Okay strait to jail. Nonblind loyalty won’t be tolerated in trumps America.
Colleague of mine had issues at DFW because they did not believe that he does not have a LinkedIn account.
People still use LinkedIn?
Yeah. Most of my coworkers are on there and actually post and shit.
I don’t and I made one to use fb marketplace (I’m rural and it’s all I have), but I don’t post on it. I’m low key nervous about it. What if they throw a fit while I’m leaving, if I can convince my family to leave this forsaken place. I’m hoping it’s more strict coming back because if I’m fortune enough to get my people to Europe, I’m never leaving again.
Why would anyone want to go in USA? There are lot of more beautifull, rich, safe, wellcoming places in the world.
Yes this. And on a very unrelated note. I heard in places with rampant crime like in Brazil, locals carry two phones. One real phone and the other one for specific times when you’re being robbed.
Nice try, guy wearing a motorcycle helmet who wants two phones for the price of one bullet. I’m on to your schemes.
How to Get a US Visa (Without Really Trying)
Step 1: Create a Truth Social account.
Step 2: Create a litany of “truths” praising God Emperor Messiah Trump, the GREATEST president in the history of the universe.
Step 3: Share Truth Social account with US State Department. Remember, it’s definitely the only social media account you have because why would anyone need anything but Truth Social?
Step 4: Get Visa.
The question is why the fuck would you even bother for a visa to the land of the free pedophiles and fascists?
Then when the next idiot from the other side gets in, they’ll deny you a visa for having posted that lol
Umm, US Customs has been asking for social media accounts from everyone entering the country for years… since trumps 1 st term. Perhaps the “foot a visa” part is new but they’ve been loyalty checking for ages already.
Only if you’re not white.
I’ve done 3 visa applications since and never had to show mine
I didn’t have to give them any socials during Biden
Who wants to travel to the fourth Reich anyways?
So many unanswered questions.
Why would the U.S. embassy in Bangkok be issuing this statement? Does this only apply to Thai citizens? And is this actually a change to U.S. policy? Hasn’t ICE already been checking spot-checking social media accounts on mobile phones when people enter the country?
Anyway, fuck this trend.
Alt accounts, my guy
Hah! I have no social media.
Oh yeah, and there’s absolutely no way you’d even get me to go to the US
This is why I don’t use social media for anything except fluff, and I live in the US. The day is coming when this is going to be happening to US citizens too. Make a second account and log out of it, simple solution.
