And they're supposed to host the next football World Cup and the next summer Olympics?

bouriquet@VeroniqueB99 The administration is becoming the government that is the exact opposite of those in the EU. Violating every right to privacy.
What surveillance is now being implemented on citizens as well?
The internet has eyes and ears.
Everything you do, say and post will be used against you if needed. Dystopian.
But will they actually have software that can pull it all together?
Just as AI can become “garbage in…garbage out”, maybe there’s a way to blur it all to preserve anonymity?

@bouriquet ...let's hope so. I think people will make 'other' internets and private corners etc... much like a kid who doesn't feel safe at home will get their mail at a friend's...
The Turtle@bouriquet @VeroniqueB99 there sure is. I have been online for 30+ years, but I am careful to piss in any large pot of data I leave anywhere, particularly if I don't intend to use it any more.
Facebook thinks I am 121 years old and live in a ghost town in Utah.
MikeTsenatek@VeroniqueB99 so also tinder, grindr, romeo?
Mastodon's Billionaire Owner@VeroniqueB99 merica can go fuck itself. Won't be going there again. May as well go to north Korea!
@bluewave_kiwi yeah... right now, it's heading in that direction...
@VeroniqueB99 Although I'm being a bit impulsive there...a lot of good things and people in America, but they are stuffing up so badly.
MinaAnd I thought, China was a surveillance state.
contrasocialWhere do you think American fascists are getting their model?
Arthur van der Harg@VeroniqueB99 I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.
Jenkins. Tom Jenkins. 🤮🤢🤮
Sozan@VeroniqueB99 After all the "security" laws and regulations that were invented after 2001 I decided to forget going to USA for good. Those were mainly aimed at Muslims (like me) or POC. Now it hits "white" people you hear about the crap everywhere. Then, I warned it was only the beginning, testing out what might work (which was not half as much bc SM was not what it is now etc.).
Aral Balkan@VeroniqueB99 Hah, they can get fucked. I’ve zero desire to visit that shithole country again this lifetime, much less jump through hoops to do it.
Skyport Radio@VeroniqueB99 I considered going in the 70's, it was a full visa application then from the UK. It had the question "Are you or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?". The answer for me was yes, so I went to the USSR instead, the visa application was easier.
@VeroniqueB99 Fuck America, I wouldn't want to go there even if you pay me. I only had such opinion of greatest shitholes in the world. Let that sink in.
PaulNickson 🕊️🎛️🎼@VeroniqueB99 That’s one way to kill the tourism industry.

Bytebro 🇬🇧 🇺🇦@VeroniqueB99
If I were planning to go there, which I'm not, I'd just have a 'spare' Masto account on a different server with nothing but cat pics and crappy vids of nights out, just for them.
I literally have no 'big name' social accounts anymore bar an IG account that I've not logged into for about 8yrs.
Paul H@VeroniqueB99 Well, that's me not going to the U.S. - I can't remember half of the usernames I've had.(I tend to instance change or sign up to social media at the drop of a hat).
Although, come to think about it, why on earth would I want to visit the U.S.A.
Brian Repko@VeroniqueB99 waiting for the retaliatory policy of “if you called US Democrats ’Marxist’, then you can’t enter Europe”
TeacherTom@VeroniqueB99 Under his eye…. :(
Personne"Freedom of speech".
bounding_star@VeroniqueB99 somehow after everything this still seems shocking, how can anyone think this is justifiable??
a fish named dog 🎗️✡️♾️@VeroniqueB99 "What counts as a social media site? Like I commented on a random website, but the commenting wasn't a major functionality. It was like a wordpress blog. And are we talking about the display username or the actual one? and should I list it if you have no way of verifying because the site went down? what happens if I forget one? does email qualify? I use a LOT of random fake names for loginwalls, do I need to list ALL of them? I don't even remember them. they're like gvad12590681."
@FishNamedDog no clue...
Simon Flett@VeroniqueB99 Well there's an easy answer to that. The Snake Island answer.
Phil Thane ✅@VeroniqueB99
How will they check? I have a regular email address and this Fediverse user name. But I also have 2 burner Gmail addresses and associated Farcebook accounts that I use infrequently when I want to remain incognito

Good job I have no intention of visiting. But back to the question, if someone hands over their phone, declares their details for, say, Mastodon, their email and blog but doesn't mention a couple of accounts on other platforms in fake names would they know?

Felix@VeroniqueB99 I don't even know ALL my social media names I use now. Of the last 5 years even less.
