The U.S. proposes asking foreign tourists for five years of social media history before allowing them into the country. EFF’s Lisa Femia breaks down this breaks down this speech-chilling and privacy-invasive scheme for ABC Australia.

@eff
(Ignoring the #Xenophobia for the moment) Let's just say someone actually goes through the trouble of providing their "Social Media History":
How do you prove it's THEIRS?
How do you know they don't have multiple accounts?
Who decides what deems you ineligible to enter the country?
Who is going to sit and pour thru days/weeks/months of #SocialMedia posts?
#JFC are these people morons. No one ever accused #racists of being very bright. 🤦♂️
"A surge in death and rape threats and harassment has created a “culture of fear” at charities serving women and refugees, and at mosques, churches and synagogues."
“The Nazis never were in the majority. Those who simply ‘went along’ were absolutely critical to the regime's success.”
“It is easier for you to speak up and stand out if you see others already doing so. So, find these others. Run with them.
Let their examples strengthen your resolve.
Then, be such an Other for others, in turn.”

Mehdi Hasan offers a moving tribute to his father, an Indian immigrant to England who died recently:
"His life, his story, his journey, is a reminder that the bigots, the nativists,
the xenophobes who now seem to dominate our politics on both sides of the Atlantic are wrong about immigration, wrong about multiculturalism, wrong about identity politics."

@cstross well Britain, that's what giving in to Xenophobia results in, maybe we could give that shit up?
Trump administration's war on immigrants projected to shrink GDP by 6.8% for 2025: turns out that in addition to arrest/deportation, three times as many workers have left the USA voluntarily ... and meanwhile, employers are carrying out mass layoffs because their businesses are no longer viable ("legal" US citizens aren't exactly lining up to work in the fields).
Slump is deepening, heading for Great Depression 2.0.

@cstross Everybody recall what wonders the xenophobic project that is Brexit did for the British economy.
At first the brexitiers said the UK would be 'liberated' and everyone would be financially better off but quickly it evolved into "We don't care what it does to the Economy, we don't like Forrins"
Almost 10 years later and is the UK prospering? Is it happy?
Labour is copying the Danish Centre Left party's policy of xenophobia and blame, they will get the same result as their traditional vote goes Green like they've done in Denmark.
We reject your petty xenophobia, we put the blame for (*gestures to things) this on the Rich...and the cowards in politics who do their bidding.

Could the Greens take London in the next election?
They will if Labour carries on down the Trump path...

Japan does not have an “immigrant” problem in the usual sense, as long-term foreign residents are largely law-abiding, integrated and the challenges lie with systemic issues, not with the people themselves. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/11/18/japan/avoid-xenophobia-tag-when-fixing-immigration/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #sanaetakaichi #minorukihara #liberaldemocraticparty #japaninnovationparty #us #chinese #korean #xenophobia
Today has been like when he delivered that appalling 'Island of Strangers' speech which he apparently now regrets but the damage has been done
We're sick of you Keir, sick of your weakness and cowardice.

But like with ICE in America the suffering is the point. The minority of Voters this appeals to want to see an Other suffer at their command, the spite gives them life.
