Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Sorry Americams. I didnt really want to visit before you self-nazified. Certainly dont now.
No need to apologize. In fact, at this point, please stay away. Once tourism completely dries up, even more people will see how awful this situation is and begin resisting. All those rich cities and towns will realize we need to be a place people want to come to, and to do that, we need to be less awful in so many ways. The status quo is still not broken enough for too many people.
Uh yeah. I'll take Canada or Cuba, thanks.
What tourists?
The ones committing all these thought crimes!
And this is how all tourism to the US died
Just straight up a violation of the 4th Amendment, and if there are any legal repercussions for the content of your accounts, depending on the nature content and the consequences of it, could be violations of the 1st and 5th amendments. These constitutional rights cover every single man woman and child on US soil, even visitors. There is no way any of this is legal.
"Yeah, about that..." - US Supreme Court
At what point do these countries start reciprocating?
Start subjecting Americans (who can afford to go abroad) to the same bullshit we subject foreigners to and we might find support for the regime evaporating...
Never. European countries gain nothing from tourists going to USA. They get money from USA tourists coming to Europe. It's a win-win for Europe: more European tourists staying here while US tourists still coming to spend their money. Why fight it?
But according to the article, these new hurdles will apply to visitors under the ESTA waiver also. And those are just as likely to be business travelers on short trips as they are full-on tourists.
Tell American executives that they can't enter Europe, even for a week, without surrendering their own social media history and then they get to experience actual consequences.
So all the business meetings will be happening in Europe. It's still a win for Europe. Governments rarely do things just to show people what it's like.
I don't mean to jump down your throat on this, my beef isn't with you. But I think it's attitudes like this that enable Fascist regimes to establish themselves.
If things continue to go badly here in the US then historians will view this as "appeasement". Not standing up against Fascism because it was more profitable that way.
Yeah, I'm not saying what I'm for or against, just saying what EU will do and why.
And I don't think anyone will see letting Americans in as an appeasement. By numbers most Americans are not MAGA so US wide ban would be unfair group punishment, you want to leave the door open for anyone who wants to escape US and punishing normal citizens will not change anything. EU is not in a position to fight US. They way to win is to stand your ground on human rights and work to become independent of American influence which EU is doing moderately good job at.
A fair number of those are people trying to flee the US. I was one of them, left at the first chance I could.
Honestly stop pussy footing and just issue a total embargo on the US as a whole, every base, territory, or ship included. No exceptions, if Air Force one pokes it's shitty head into any sovereign airspace it gets obliterated, if any American ships pop up on foreign shores then they're impounded and scrapped.
Treat us worse than the fucken Norks. This empire is collapsing regardless may as well speed it up a bit.
Yeah, go on, kill the entire US-tourism.
At this point I think they unloading into a long deceased corpse.
"Sorry, I don't use social media." (hands over burner phone)
Can't delete data from a phone that never had it. 😉 Bonus if you hand them a dumb phone.
"Oh, my phone? Sure, here you go!"
True. But then they can just arrest you for being a liar, regardless of if it’s true.
We gotta get rid of this Trump asshole…
Man, if only lying was a crime!
sigh…
Oh no, I typed in the wrong password and phone wiped itself
Oopsie-felony!
"Send me the bravo team. We have a terrorist here".
Poor Infantino. So much sucking up to Trump and all he gets is lower attendance for the world cup.
What if you dont use social media???
