I think it wil be more dodgy to have an account suddenly appear just before you travel than to arrive saying you don't have one at all.

It's amazing the blinders people have toward Trump. Everything negative gets blamed on him, despite the fact that he isn't president yet. In fact, things like this are why he won the election. This is, of course, the product of the Obama Administration (The most transparent administration in history). Obama won the election on 'Hope and Change' but, from persecuting whistleblowers to renewing and expanding the patriot act, he's changed next to nothing. This has really been Bush terms 3 and 4. No small wonder that the US public did not relish the idea of more of the same. The Trump vote was always a vote against Hillary.
So the next time you look at the ridiculous clown that is the future leader of the free world, remember this thread, and ask yourself if an incompetent fool is really worse than this calculated facism.
So Mr FART FACE want you to share your Social media so he can say he got loads of Freinds to buddy up to...... WELL MR FART FACE NO I will not be visiting you country in the very near future even thought american are decent folk this IDIOT is going to RUIN THE USA by WALLING you up from the out side hahahahahaha the GREAT WALL OF AMERICA what a legacy![]()
I wasn't blaming Trump, but seeing as I won't be travelling to America before he's inaugurated, it's most likely criticism of him rather than Obama would lead to a refusal of entry. Plus with his thin skin, my small insult in this thread is probably the sort of thing that would lead to that occurance...
That seems fine if they'll only be scanning the accounts you give them and not doing anything like mapping actual accounts to device identities and network addresses, which I'm sure they'll never do, right?
Perhaps they could offer an incentive like entering every account that posts something nice about the country into a prize draw.
Terrorism by Islamofascists is the reason. There - I said it. Call Pres.-elect Trump what you want, but he states the obvious and plainly viewable truth.
You may want to talk to your Nigel Farage if you would like the same from the U.K. perspective.
You may want to read "The Emperor's New Clothes" if you need a simpler analogy of the globalist perspective on Islamofascists!
There doesn't seem to be. And there is a difference between :-
a) I don't have any such accounts, and
b) I have some, but as disclosure is optional I'm opting not to say.
Personally, I have no objection to publicly disclosing a full list of my social media accounts. Here it is .....
If I did have any, then I sure as hell would object to disclosing them, until and unless I received a satisfactory explanation of why they wanted to know, and what happened to such information.,
What I dislike about ESTA (anyone else misread it as eSATA?), is that it is required just to -transit-, to, say, Canada.
Speaking of Canada, they have introduced their own version of it this year. Not too sure what it's like, though I am about to find out. It is a few quid cheaper though.
Also, it seems like you can't just update the records, but need to submit a new application if your "home address" changes.
You mean Obama right? He passed this, trump isn't in yet. And for the people Obama didn't like during his election, well, they never got their 501c's through and are still waiting after IRS, DOJ etc came after them for years. So...Get real. The IRS has admitted to targeting over 400 conservative groups (dem groups barely showed up on the list...LOL). While the Jury is still out on trump, it is definitely in on Obama. Not to mention spending more than ALL other USA presidents COMBINED...Holy cow. How is that even possible while most of our lives got worse during his 8yrs? Unbelievable. For 10tril, we should have all new roads, the best airports in the world, the best railways, best bridges, etc etc. But those jobs still aren't shovel ready yet I guess...ROFL. At least Clinton doesn't get to bankrupt the country. Trump seems to be on the right track already. Pitting lockheed (f35...jeez) against Boeing already (asked for cheaper F18, told lockheed price on F35 too high etc), keeping carrier jobs, now ford too, IBM promising to hire over 25,000 ahead of meeting with trump. Consumer confidence through the roof, all 3 indexes up 8% already etc. Not bad for not even being sworn in yet.
Yeah,because it wasn't George Bush's son which lead the US into multiple expensive wars and also was around when the economy tanked which Obama was left to deal with,or the fact Bill Clinton left the US economy in a decent state,or the fact it was the Republicans which actually caused the USSR to final break-up(essentially winning the Cold War),so giving the peace dividend to Bill Clinton,etc.
We will wait and see how Trump fairs - if he does well,great but if things don't go so well,I expect everybody will blame Obama anyway,but the same people are silent about the previous bloke to him. They are so terrified that if they criticise a former Republican president that by extension it would make them a Democrat shill,and then you get Democrats who are so terrified that any criticism of any of their lot is an endorsement of the Republicans.
This is the problem with US politics - its like a religion. Its like Protestants and Catholics arguing about details when they are both the same religion.
Both parties are very right wing anyway,its like arguing whether one part of the Tory party is better than another part of it.
The Democrats are probably more right wing than our lot in many ways.
Yet in the UK we tend to criticise boths sides of the spectrum as much as each other - both the Tories,Lib Dems and Labour have screwed up massively in the last 20 years.
They are more worried about fighting each other than doing anything good for the country,or prancing around trying to act like a world policemen which causes more problems than it solves at home.

I have a real social life so don't need social media.
The social media sites are searchable, I would have thought they already know the few accounts I have.
As long as it doesn't become mandatory. Accounts fall into disuse, I probably can't remember them all.
I get annoyed when even ordering Pizza Hut I need a facebook for a quick checkout. I don't have any real social network accounts, but I have to have a few fake ones, just to make things quicker and easier. Winds me up.
Speaking about the article, well... slowly slowly we all gonna be digitally identifiable - social networks + face recognition etc. Problem IMO is that most people on every day basis are giving away enormous amounts of their personal data and don't even see anything worrying about it.
