imagine going on holiday in a country where they check your phone for memes
seeing the grand canyon seems cool but it can wait until that lunatic and his friends are gone
Keep in mind that TSA searching peoples' phones was already policy under the last few administrations. Which is part of why I wasnt interested in traveling there even before the lunatic.
I've been avoiding travel to the US since the Patriot Act that followed 9/11 started that kind of shit and more in general the US started moving away from Democracy and into Autocracy.
Last time I felt like traveling to the North American continent I just went to Canada instead for a whole month - sea kayaking in British Columbia, hiking in the Canadian Rockies, sightseeing in Quebec . Highly recommended by the way.
That should be against privacy laws in some countries and considering you can sue people from outside the US into the US court because of US rules it would make sense to have it the same with that human rights form one country exist in other countries. Sadly the world isn't built ontop of logic.
It’s also a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment.
that's crazy honestly
I thought this was the onion but its real... :)
It seems the mentality of the United States rulership have shifted back to the dark ages.
I wonder if accusing people of being witches is next.
uhhh this is the new witch hunt buddy, except the townsfolk aren't in the mob.
"Land of the free"
"Freedom" just means "thing the fascist US government supports" when they say it. Fascists always co-opt the names of popular concepts and use them to try to legitimize themselves. "Wrapped in the American flag and carrying a cross."
wouldn't be surprised
Absolutely!
I have family in the US. Uncles and aunts and cousins. One of my cousins have a child who I've never met. I would love to meet them all.
But there is no way I'm going to the states in the current condition. And even if the administration would be replaced, I think it would take years for the states to recover to the point where I would visit.
If they want to see you, they'll have to come to you.
