Soon, if a new proposal from the Trump administration goes into effect, immigrants applying for green cards or citizenship will have to disclose their social media handles with their application.

The same time citizens will be forced to disclose which party they're affiliated with to have the right to not be summarily arrested and jailed without court order or trial.
1. Never use your real name on the internets, never travel with apps
2. When they make demands like this, say "none"
3. Alternative: open an account in your own name or initials on some little-known platform like Lemmy or PixelFed, post an occasional weather summary with a picture of trees or birds
Download profile, delete it, accurately answer “none”, set up a new one later. Deal with losing followers. They’re not worth the blatant invasion of privacy.
It will become commonplace to have two accounts for each platform. The one that gets used and the staged one that gets disclosed. Just go in a few times a week and post something innocuous so it's not an obvious front
Everybody can just register “ILoveTrump(series of numbers)” on Twitter and never be hassled again. Post one pic of a Cybertruck that isn’t on fire and you get automatic citizenship.
How about optimizing the process and skipping a few steps: any non-white immigrant (the Trump administration seems to offer different treatments based on skin color) would simply report to Gitmo, spend a year in captivity, and then self-deport.
Does it actually violate their free speech rights if they're not American citizens yet? Not saying it's right (or good), but seems to me that it's just Trumplestiltskin finding his way around the law... yet again.
Wtf will want to go currently. We went in 2023, got no intention of going back while it's the enemy of Europe and run by Nazis
Shame cos Arizona and San Fran were cool
100% you'll get the backroom treatment by whomever researches this. There's a few positions in the government that you have to provide social media accounts for, and saying "I don't use it" triggers an external investigation because it's so rare that it's more likely you're lying.
You best believe they are already checking this and not just for immigrants but for citizens as well. People still using X are nuts, but to be fair, even though I left Twitter when Musk bought it, he still owns my historic activity and has the AI tools to scan it for my criticisms of he and Trump.
They searched the social media of the Venezuelan soccer player they sent to El Salvador for excuses to do it, and settled on a photo of him making "gang signs". It was sign language for "I love you."
In other words, let them continue to sit in Congress?

the US treated WWII fascists the way they did exclusively because they were a competing empire to our capitalist ruling class. only dirty commies fought fascism on an ethical or ideological basis
Proves well Trump & Musk really want to show how Hate Groups are supporting the 2 and now we are on the verge of what will he a #CivilWar2 coming if Trump & Musk continue these games.
Do you think it will stop with immigrants? They want to control media, social media and any other forms of news, information etc. Dictators don’t allow their people to have personal opinions.
I Probably in 2012 the idea of social media as a tracking tool wasn't that mainstream. But it also sounds like something our great and wise leader would do for the benefit of our glorious nation
More like, "Are you on Truth Social premium & have you signed up to #Trump new crypto coin. Your Nobel prize for Physics is all well & good but I strongly advise you to buy Trump Crypto".

I am not on those
media, I don’t have enough money for food and you think I have computer or smartphone, I don’t have time for posting images on Instagram, why would I be on Twitter as Musk doesn’t like me, Google & Facebook show me ads for stuff too expensive
Men so little and so sensitive and so emotional, they can't stand the idea of somebody talking about them online. Lololol. It's so pathetic and so sad.
fakest smile. a forced smile. the smile of a man who is emotionally incapable of actually smiling. wearing a smile as a mask for his true feelings. a lying smile. a hateful smirk. o miserum!

I guess their God does not extend rights to those outside of the USA
given this admins propensity to not follow the law, shouldn’t give them any more reason to fuck with you.

We need to treat fascists the way we did in WWII.....

All citizens.
but sure... lets just make a billion or so "burner accounts"... so that unique "handles" become almost impossible to have.
