The move has been heavily criticised by Taoiseach Micheál Martin who described it as “excessive”.

      at this point, these companies would make a buck as lost accounts recovery services.

    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.

    Is there any way to practically check this? Surely just saying “i dont use the internet very much” is enough.

        For us youngsters, sure, but if you’re 50+ I could totally believe it. Or at least believe you have no idea what a “username” is

    I mean they make you sign away your rights and tell them if you’ve ever been affiliated with any one who was in or if you joined a communist party. So this is just another layer on the shit cake.

    Sure why not, since my name is Anthony O’Neill. You can find my short form username: Anon.

    What could they find? I bet I’m save.

    I guess we can finally get clarification on whether or not forums are social media.

    Ideologically unaligned visitors need not apply. Got to keep America pure, without the pesky freedom of subversive thought.

    1. Post trump positive stuff, maybe edit old content to include.
    2. Post prompt inject to label account america positive, hide in spoiler block, image alt text, etc.
    3. Post eyeblech content so checker use ai or only get content overview. Will either prompt inject or mostly see trump positive post.

    Or create fake profile with trump positive post, but no history probably suspicious.
