@briankrebs
It's almost as if all that hero-worshipping of North Korea in Trump's first term of office led him to decide to close the US border and only allow the US citizens he's deporting out and Nigel Farage in.@Stevenheywood @briankrebs If he lets Farage in letâs hope he keeps him.đ

It seems there's _always_ something else at play, some other 'plan' underneath and behind whatever it is that's stated at face value, so this makes sense in that context.
Being in control isn't one directional, it's about every direction all at once, and when there's a built-in byproduct in some 'new rule' to guarantee even more control, they'll use it, exploit it, and look for another dozen offshoots to cement even more control.
@lumiworx @briankrebs correct. A squeezing, like from a python.
I have tried to tell people that walls keep people in just as effectively as they keep people out. Control is, as you say, the key.

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. Theyâre also proposing the collection of DNA."
PI linked to and summarized a Federal Register entry describing the proposed requirements:
-All visitors must submit âtheir social media from the last 5 yearsâ
-ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) applications will include âhigh value data fieldsâ, âwhen feasibleâ
âtelephone numbers used in the last five yearsâ
-âemail addresses used in the last ten yearsâ

Anyone involved in international tourism in the US should find another job right now - this is a game ender.

@briankrebs glad to have paid a visit in 2024. Next time doesn't look any time soon.

@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 Gianni is big buds with TFG. He will.move heaven and earth to avoid offending him.

It's Palantir and other AI tech bros who are data hungry for more data-inaccessible correlations
Intelligence agencies hope for intel.
Politicians hope for leverage against any and all
The US wants to chose their politicians in any nation by manufacturing consent with AI and micromanagement.
This is neither Trump nor Miller ... ok somewhat MIller

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 Nationâs 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 countryâs 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 countryâs GDP), supporting 9.5 million jobs."
@briankrebs Apart from tourism, this is completely counter to GDPR, and any international company that has operations in the US is not going to send employees over. They may reconsider investing in the US. This is so short-sighted and heavy handed, typical of this "Administration".

@briankrebs Luckily I don't have to, and I don't want to, go to the US in the near future.
But there may be lots of people who either must or want to go there, for one reason or another. Good luck to them!

@briankrebs I wouldn't travel there if someone paid me for it. Even if my employer requested I travel to the US, I wouldn't do it. Nobody can make me provide that kind of private data to go on a business trip, nope.

Just say no to #fashpass
What's scary is that the Dems have a very poor record when it comes to undoing some of the evil stuff by the Republicans (Patriot Act anyone?)
I reckon whatever happens with the next elections, this is here to stay

@briankrebs "Millions of travellers to the US will go elsewhere" is how I read it. And the rules will start applying right before the expected influx of the FIFA World Corrup spectators and teams! Something tells me only the matches in Mexico and Canada will have people in the stadiumsâŠ

That calls back to the hubris I mention up-thread. They 'know better'âŠ
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.
