immigrant: sure thing boss
DOS: ok, where’s your Facebook, Reddit, lemmy, Twitter, and MySpace accounts?
immigrant: don’t have em.
DOS: what do you mean?
immigrant: I don’t have social media.
DOS: looking at them like a psychopath
immigrant: 🤷
I once had a job interview that asked for my social media. I said that I did not have any accounts. They said that was suspicious and could not continue the interview. I suspect the feds will use the same excuse to end the immigrants freedom.
Probably better to have secondary accounts specifically for these asks.
It sounds like you dodged a bullet or they weren’t serious about hiring. I’d likely respond that “wouldn’t it be more suspicious to have an account with almost no activity?”
“wouldn’t it be more suspicious to have an account with almost no activity?”
I hope not…
We are both doomed.
It’s considered a red flag even socially to not have social media. People are crazy.
I consider asking about social media of strangers to be a red flag
Is GitHub considered social media?
That would get confusing if they all shared one handle….
Brb making a catchall social media handle for undocumented folks
Brilliant!
America is a hellhole country. I feel sorry for any sane American living there and even more sorry for the racist agendas magas that somehow continue to support this rampant removal of human equality.
Fuck Trump Fuck the Trump administration
And fuck and single American they supports this. Monster. Then entire fucking lot of you.
So… what if one doesn’t use social media? Are they gonna believe that?
I used to have LinkedIn and now I only have this Lemmy account which isn’t directly tied to any of my personal details… Good luck linking that?
How is their Intel so bad that they can’t even find the social media handles of immigrants themselves. I thought the Zucc gave the feds whatever info they ask for
I mean maybe they could, if they had any employees left…
I only had fb but I gave that up in 2016. The only things I have now are my old reddit account that I haven’t used in a few years except to view occasionally but will not post, comment, or like anything. This Lemmy account is all I got and I am OK with that. It’s insane that we are considered the weird ones.
Pretty sure this was already part of the ESTA visa application form that tourists need to fill in. Don’t get me wrong; it’s fucking bullshit as an entry or as a citizenship requirement. Just saying it’s not a new form of Orwellian overreach for the US government.
It’s optional for an ESTA, you can just skip right over it. It sounds like they want to make it compulsory
What possible justification could there be for that?
Force
about as likely as having any immigrants
…oh, that’s probably the point.
OK. It’s realDonaldTrump. Don’t look it up though, I’m a real maniac!
Don’t have any. Although I also don’t want to immigrate to the US
“I don’t have any social media!” He announced on social media
Are web forums social media now?
When did they stop being social media?
Don’t have any? Detained!
