@briankrebs If this happens, the EU should impose similar restrictions on U.S. citizen travelers.

@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.
We discussed that today – there are two other countries involved, we just have to move the US games north or south...
-
@jimfl @briankrebs Oh, we wouldn't want that, would we? The tantrum that follows would be catastrophic.
@AAKL @briankrebs Ketchup everywhere

@independentpen @arrakeen_urbanite @briankrebs Exactly. Just because the government of one country turns fascist does not mean that we, as Europeans, should abandon our core values, such as those enshrined in the European Charter of Fundamental Rights.
If our European values are to be more than a paper exercise, we must be prepared to uphold them.

Why didn't they just require everyone get chipped also?@RealGene guess a tattoo with number will he the next proposal

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
-business email addresses used in the last ten years.The Federal Register entry says comments are encouraged and

@briankrebs Just more reasons why I won't be travelling to the United States anytime soon.
Way to go, Trump. Way to kill the economic benefits tourism brings to your country.
-
I'm British, white, male, aged 60-ish.
Prior to February 2016 I typically visited the USA 3 times a year for up to six weeks.
Since February 2016 I have visited the USA twice in a decade, for a total of 10 days.
Entering the USA as a foreigner, with a Republican POTUS in the White House, *never* felt safe, but under Trump it looks diabolically dangerous. (And to a glance I resemble "one of them": I'm not female or dark-skinned.)
When I go to visit my Canadian in laws I can see the Olympic Peninsula and Mount Baker across the Juan de Fuca Straight. That's plenty close enough for me.
After what I called The Orange Emperor on his racist friend's hellsite they won't let me in anyway.

@briankrebs In summary, if this change goes into effect, when leaving the US, don't plan on coming back.

@tdr @independentpen @arrakeen_urbanite @briankrebs Also, tourism is an export product. If they want to sabotage their export to us, that doesn't force us to do an equally dumb thing in reverse.

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 Cancel the World Cup.

Hmmm... Just in time for the World Cup and Olympics?
I think we will see countries boycott these events, but this might push more over the edge.@dann @briankrebs well at least team america will win the world cup as they will be the only team playing?

@briankrebs This policy is going to fuck over Hawaii, certainly. Maybe Florida, too.

@briankrebs I could not with any confidence give anyone all the emails I have used last two or three years.

It's a beautiful country.
Visited a couple of times in the 90s, and did long road trips which were amazing. Still have a few friends over there that have yet to assume room temperature (I'm a little older than you) and with whom I still correspond.
Cannot and will not go back there until this crap-storm is over. So sad..

@briankrebs Cancel the World Cup.

It may just cancel itself. @briankrebs -

@cstross
My spouse, a US citizen, went home to visit family last year, and found themselves distinctly uncomfortable at the border. I don't think I've been back since we were married, also in 2016.

@briankrebs A LOT of things will have to change in the US if I'm to ever set my foot on that continent again.
At this point I'm not even sure the US will ever be able to win back the trust of many Europeans -

Le più grandi storie di intelligenza artificiale dell'anno (finora)
Il settore della #IntelligenzaArtificiale sforna costantemente notizie, come importanti acquisizioni, successi di sviluppatori indipendenti, proteste pubbliche contro prodotti sospetti ed esistenzialmente pericolosi trattative contrattuali.

@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.
