Specify Rationalia Membership when entering US?

Post by NineBerry » Tue Dec 27, 2016 11:13 am

Will I have to reveal my membership of Rationalia when entering the US and what will happen to me, then?
The U.S. government quietly began requesting that select foreign visitors provide their Facebook, Twitter and other social media accounts upon arriving in the country, a move designed to spot potential terrorist threats that drew months of opposition from tech giants and privacy hawks alike.

Dumb policy from people trying to further justify their existence. The person just has to say they don't have an xyz account.

Wonder how they'd react if I wanted to go there and disclosed that I have no membership on any of those sites

If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear.
Rationalia relies on voluntary donations. There is no obligation of course, but if you value this place and want to see it continue please consider making a small donation towards the forum's running costs.
Details on how to do that can be found here.

No need for that. The posts of at least two US citizens in this very forum confirm that my opinion about Trump supporters is not prejudicial. On the bright side other US citizens in this very forum confirm my opinion that the majority of the US citizens are not fucking fuckwitted fuckwits.

Except when you're black, a Muslim or said something that might raise Trump's ire.

Do US visa application forms still ask if the applicant is or has been a member of "The Communist Party"?

The best answer to the question "Have you been a member of the Communist Party?" is the same as to the question "Do you believe in God?":

"Which one of the million different ones do you mean?"

This is why I use a fake name on farcebook. Forsight, you see.

My point is a shallow take here betrays a shallow take elsewhere. Why did you go up the top? :coffee:

Having two facebook accounts is haraam. It's in the Quran!
