Create a Facebook account with your full name that is on your passport and just post endless cat memes and nothing else. Keep it active regularly and post at least once a week. Whenever you have a block of time, post dozens or hundreds of cat memes, and comment with other people about cats.

Maintaining this account will become mandatory if you want to travel from now on. If you want, do the same with Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. Just non stop cat memes.

Log on to these accounts when you go through immigration.

If you want to use Facebook \ Instagram \ Twitter \ YouTube with friends, use a second account that is not remotely connected to your real name.

User anonymous accounts for everything else.

Another alternative is don't visit the US

Reminder to everyone already canceling their plans: this is a proposal and not even a very serious one because the logistics and legal changes around it could be a nightmare. This is more "some shit the Trump admin said" and not necessarily ever going to pass as law.

This tweet is from motherfucking polymarket and if you don't immediately suspect that source, you've gone too far and touched too much grass.

Yup. It's unfortunate. I want to visit the US but it had become one of the countries I would not visit alongside China because of Orwellian surveillance.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Exactly this. On the plus side, Canada is a great country to visit too.

The surveillance in USA isn't remotely like China. Having spent time in both places.

And there's no law or actual requirement to turn over your social media history, this was some shit that Trump said, not a new law or bill.

isn't remotely like China.

Not yet.

I mean, we have cameras this big now --> o

We also have AI systems for parsing vast amounts of data and predicting human behavior, we have giant, international corporations using all of this tech. Are you in the EU? Are you in Canada? Or any "developed" nation? Because this isn't going to be a USA/China problem, this is going to be a worldwide problem as we shift globally to techno-oligarchy as a global ruling system.

Lol .... I'm ojibway Canadian, an indigenous person from Canada. I speak my language fluently and I even read and write it (although at a very basic level).

The symbols you used are a variation of syllabics that we use to write my language.

I immediately tried to read it before realizing after a minute what you were doing.

Lol ... I had a good laugh about it

Bold of you to assume other countries won't start doing the same thing.

Authoritarianism is on the rise.

You should do this anyway, whatever actually happens with this proposed bill.

Currently it's not a law or requirement to show anyone your social media history when arriving in the USA for any reason. But it's being "proposed" by the Trump admin. Which could mean anything. I suspect it won't make it very far towards being written into law because it's so utterly batshit and hard to build a legal system around.
