@derickr @ojensen @briankrebs Password managers! They can hold unique email addresses as well as the expected passwords and user names. Every account should have all three of those unique.
Gmail, firefox, duck, and pretty much all commercial email providers let you generate more email addresses than you'll ever need. Having hundreds of active email addresses is a normal thing. I tell myself that 😏.
@ericphelps
Tagged email addresses accomplish much the same thing! -
We knew this was coming, but now the clock is running. From Privacy International:
"Yesterday the Trump Administration announced a proposed change in policy for travellers to the U.S. It applies to the powers of data collection by the Customs and Border Police (CBP)."
"If the proposed changes are adopted after the 60-day consultation, then millions of travellers to the U.S. will be forced to use a U.S. government mobile phone app, submit their social media from the last five years and email addresses used in the last ten years, including of family members. They’re also proposing the collection of DNA."
PI linked to and summarized a Federal Register entry describing the proposed requirements:
-All visitors must submit ‘their social media from the last 5 years’
-ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) applications will include ‘high value data fields’, ‘when feasible’
‘telephone numbers used in the last five years’
-‘email addresses used in the last ten years’
-‘family number telephone numbers (sic) used in the last five years’
-biometrics – face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris
-business telephone numbers used in the last five years

@briankrebs the sooner white folks are as punished by this regime as people of color, the sooner we can finally rise together and end capitalism.

@briankrebs FIFA's Word Cup tournaments in the U.S. need to be boycotted or cancelled. This puts the world at the mercy of these thugs.
@AAKL @briankrebs and the summer Olympics need to be moved as well

@briankrebs that's a lot more invasive than the submissions I've done for security clearances.

I feel for anyone in the travel, tourism and hospitality industries, which make up ~ 10M jobs and ~ 3 percent of the nation's GDP. From the U.S. International Trade Administration (trade.gov)
"Inbound international travel to the United States plays a vital role in the Nation’s economy and promotes cultural exchange and understanding. Travel and tourism is the largest single services export for the United States, accounting for 22 percent of the country’s services exports and 7 percent of all exports in 2023. The travel and tourism industry contributed $2.3 trillion to the U.S. economy in 2022 (2.97 percent of the country’s GDP), supporting 9.5 million jobs."
@briankrebs ... it makes a lot of sence. If you add knowledge to "it promotes cultural exchange and understanding" you will immediately see the imminent danger of tourism. In contact with tourists many more US-Americans might understand ....

@AAKL @briankrebs If the German football federation decides to either boycott the WC entirely or boycott matches in the US the rest of Europe will do the same. Mexico and Canada can handle the extra matches and tourists. FIFA can adjust quickly to cut the US out. The US matches will have low ranked teams playing in near empty stadiums.
@BLTpizza @AAKL @briankrebs The US is currently in a civil war. It is a very dangerous and lawless place. For the safety of the athletes, their families and fans. All international sport must be moved out!

@briankrebs où peut on envoyer des commentaires?
Je pense que ce type de collecte d'informations nuit tout simplement à la confiance des immigrants envers l'Etat Américain et risque de nuire indirectement à l'économie, car c'est bien connu "'rétablissez la confiance, et l'intendance suivra" non? -
@briankrebs I wish people understood how important the Federal Register is to how law is made. The government has to consider comments and if they fail to consider them seriously you can sue to block a regulation. The more people who comment with serious objections to a rule, the harder it is for the government to implement that rule. It’s an under appreciated avenue for direct democracy and direct action. If there’s an issue you care about, you can follow that on the FR
@ShiitakeToast @briankrebs how can we submit comments on this proposal?
-
@AlexanderVI @dann @briankrebs does not matter.
Boycott the whole thing.
Boycott everything that the USA touches.

@briankrebs this is great. Why would you travel there anyway.

10 visit max (they'll sample each time to avoid DNA spoofing!)
@f800gecko @SecondUniverse @briankrebs That made me laugh.

@airshipper @briankrebs Exactly. The musical chairs never stops under fascism.

@briankrebs that's a lot more invasive than the submissions I've done for security clearances.
@johnefrancis @briankrebs also almost impossible to comply with (family phone numbers etc) so along with feeds into the surveillance state it’ll just be cover for arbitrary detention.

@Colman @Tattie @ariaflame @cstross
That calls back to the hubris I mention up-thread. They 'know better'…
FWIW? It isn't only fascists who ignore inconvenient facts. All of us do it in one way or another. It's a very human cognitive failure mode.
And it's a big reason I push Stoicism as a humanistic day-to-day philosophy. Because acknowledging your own faults is the first step in overcoming them.
The people we're talking about are Emoitionalists. They believe their feelings define reality.
