The joke’s on them. I’ve been gone from facebook for 10 years lol
People are already boycotting the us, they don’t need another reason.
Tourism is only down 30% or so. So maybe they do need more reasons.
I can’t believe it’s so little. Do they not know what’s happening here?
People are into sunk costs and book well in advance. A lot of that 30% is no-money-back cancellations.
Wait until you see next year.
I personally know Canadians who are still going back to the Untied States for half the year and I’m confused as to how they’re not deeply ashamed. Do they not know? Can they really be that oblivious?
Their right wing is trying to crib some (not all) notes from Trump, so I’d imagine those Canadians are the ones who think what Trump is doing is fine.
FAFO
Is this 30% down in foreign tourist (like people crossing border with the intention of a tourist visit) or 30% down in tourist industry revenue?
If it’s revenue that’s huge. Because a lot of tourism is just Americans going to tourist destinations. Though I’m sure some of that drop is coming from Americans also not being able to afford vacations.
If it’s 30% down of actual foreign tourist travel that’s less than I’d expect too. But still beyond devastating to the tourist industry. Between that and the explosion of online gambling, I know Vegas is hurting so much right now.
The US are really working hard to get prohibition, 30’s great depression, and McCarthyism all at once.
Some other things from the 30s, too.
The snazzy European uniforms?
Speed run
You think it’s going to stop there? US citizens will soon have to do the same, or be on the no fly list.
Those lazy fucks, they’ve already had those data for years!
I will stop flying if it comes to that
Luckily you guys have land borders. Unluckily they might start patrolling them for people escaping too.
Jokes on them. I dont use social media. Will they deny me because i dont?
I dont use social media.
…on a social media…
Let them prove it.
Probably, or at least a lengthy interrogation
“In addition to social media histories, Customs and Border Protection would add other new data collection fields, including email addresses and telephone numbers used in the last five years, as well as the addresses and names of family members, the notice reads.”
Wtf I was planning to visit NYC but this is crazy man.
sounds like they want to feed it into AI and other survellience tech like palintir.
Perfect fit
🤦🏻♀️ What about the people who don’t use social media? Or have used social media for less than 5 years?
Or people who disclose a suspiciously wholesome 5 years of social media use? Or use social media platforms that allow backdated posts - how well are those going to be scrutinised?
Why am I even asking? This is all so stupid. People only want to travel to places where they won’t be immediately grilled on what they think of the dictator. (…Out of curiosity, what’s the process like for North Korea? Strictly for comparison.)
I’m pretty sure the only posts I’ve put on Facebook in the past five years are all a version of, “Hey, I’m just checking in so y’all know I’m still alive.” I haven’t updated my personal information on there in about a decade.
If they find out, out the door you go.
Wow. Even China doesn’t do that.
edit Might be that they don’t need to get it from you
Ikr? Yet people are so afraid to visit China by contrast…
(Not that I blame theme)
Lest we forget the Michaels.
Between China and the US I’d currently be less worried about visiting China. And I’m a white dude who has bashed the CCP online plenty.
china cares more about money, they do suppress news about thier country often to not scare away tourists.
It’s like getting banned from smacking my own balls with a hammer.
Oh noes!
You realize that you don’t have to go to Florida?
But how else am I supposed to pet the alligators? Do you seriously expect me to go all the way to Africa to pet the crocodiles in the Nile instead?
Chill bro, we didn’t need another reason not to visit. We got it.
I don’t know why anyone is still visiting the Untied States but I hope this deters them
funny they dont report in the news how the red areas that are dependant on tourism is actually doing. the gop dont want alarm thier own supporters how bad the situation is, just like they are reporting the news, that trump is using the tariff money to pay off the farmers right now.
None of you better come here. I’m not saying this because I don’t want you here, I’m saying it because we are literally on fire right now. We have a lot of finding out to do.
Check under your couch for Russians. Or Venezuelans. Or is it Chinese? Whatever it is, it’s certainly not a home-made problem.
Dear Trump administration… I’ve already decided never to visit the US, you don’t have to sell it to me.
We have already postponed our Disney trip until the cheeto is gone.
I am prepared to go to Europe or Japan instead though if America can’t figure its issues out.
I’ve been sending emails to hotel companies and urging them to oppose this. I urge you to contact your congresspeople and also companies in the travel, hospitality and tourism industry and demand they oppose this policy and more broadly ask them to stand up to Trump because he’s causing people to rightfully boycott the US.
Also to everyone who is boycotting the US thank you so so much, I’m really grateful and as are so many Americans who also hate what the Trump regime is doing. The more people who boycott the more pressure it will put on companies to finally stand up against the Trump regime.
Yeah man, just remember we love you guys despite your insane government.
