how are the visa folks gonna know if i choose not to list a social media account? are they going to undertake a forensic search of every social media platform? how are they gonna know that in addition to my regular twitter handle under my own name i also have an alt where i share my detailed manifestoes on how best to cook and serve every member of trump's cabinet?

I read that as Visa credit card. There is almost no way they can do a timely search for your social media unless you just suck at using the internet and have everything on full display. They are hoping you will give it all to them voluntarily.

i think this is probably intended more as a means to expand ways to later deport someone for submitting supposedly misleading/false documents or whatever bullshit.

having talked to people who use a bunch of different data sources to aggregate potential customer data, I really assume anyone with enough money to buy bulk data can throw this stuff together
I guess if you've used a different account on a different device that doesn't use wifi, isn't paid for by any account linked to your name, doesn't have gps, has never logged into any website whatsoever other than that account, and uhhh maybe has never opened a web browser to go to anything other than the one site, you may be in the clear

This is why I tell people to never put their dob, pob or even full name on any type of social media website.

I had to work with Palantir once who was trying to gain access to a bunch of our databases of which I was one of the owners. They just wanted a datadump per the wishes of our company but there was absolutely no rationale about why they needed it or what they would use it for. We refused and eventually, eventually they were like "oh, we don't need it." It was kind of absurd.

I'm depressingly fatalistic about identity privacy
as a former fed, my personal info (sometimes including SSN) has been stolen at least 7 times, and those are just the incidents i know about. feds make sense as targets, i guess, but also as canaries in the goldmine. everyone should be fully prepared to either become an obsessive data security champion or get used to the idea that soon everyone's information is just going to be...out there

im pretty fatalistic about any real chances for individual data security too fwiw (almost nothing). and mh is right, bad models and actors do dominate that space.
maybe every space. in this world of “greater fools” (in a nonstandard, nonecon sense), and of trumpy zero-sum transactionalism, maybe the biggest surprise to me is that no non-state bad actors have acquired some reaaaally crazy shit and pulled a ransom extortion using explosive nukes. or like, just used nukes.
*consults DM Guide* the world feels like it’s gone from lawful evil to chaotic evil. or it could be just i’m really aging out, and realizing the world is always chaotic evil, and that my assumption of post ww2 lawfulness, as limited as it was, was even more a fallacy than i suspected.

otmfm. it has a barely plausible connection to counter-terrorism to use as a cover story, but it will only be used as a handy stick to beat anyone they don't like and want to deport, similar to using loitering or vagrancy laws to beat up on homeless people.

If you had a Dave Matthews fan page on Geocities, you probably deserve deportation or worse. Especially if it autoplayed a song upon opening.

Is the new American and British nationalism a hostile usurper that has arrived on the scene to displace political conservatism? Or is nationalism an essential, if neglected, part of the Anglo-American conservative tradition at its best?
You'll never guess which one they pick ...
