I just finished reading this. An interesting look into poor academic citation practices (leading to citogenesis https://xkcd.com/978/), historical accuracy, and biometrics.
Also, this is a good read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_citogenesis_incidents

@ferricoxide It's even worse than #NorthKorea, because Pyongyang doesn't demand you to provide you with all your #AntisocialMedia, #Fingerprints and #DNA nor do they reject people with a valid visa purely out of vibes...
- The only other nation that legally doesn't guarantee entry with a valid visa is #Japan but unlike the #USA I can't find stories where they rejected entry based off things that would've invalidated a visa anyway (i.e. past ban of entry, criminal conviction or unpaid fines, using forged documents, ...)
- Whereas the #US always mistreated travelers to the point that people with all the valid permits were treated worse than Inmates in a German Prison at Immigrations, with "trigger-happy" TSA & CPB personnel looking for reasons to flatline them - and that was in the early-to-mid - 2000s!
