The problem is that they already ask you to list all social media profiles, so if you had a "public" account that's only unobjectionable posts, and an "alt" account where you post your political activism posts, you either have to disclose the alt as well, or you're committing a felony by lying on a form.
"Hostile attitudes towards our citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles" all apply to Trumpists (of which there seem to be an uncanny number of non-citizens), but something tells me this is more Orwellian powertalk rather than honestly stated policy.
We should really apply this to everyone, have AI read all your public info, and you get a score like debt. If your score is too low or nonexistent, we exclude you from society, or maybe even arrest you. Our criminal justice system is too biased toward action, and not enough towards potential action. It’s like. We spend 90% of our time on violent crime, 9% on white collar crime, and the amount of time we spend on thought crimes basically rounds to zero. WTF?
This is an ironic post, right? If not, then wow... If yes, then I'm all for it. The sad thing is we live in times I really don't know if you're serious.
The irony is palpable considering terminally online leftist reddit mods have done exactly that. Huge swaths of reddit will ban your account for partaking in thoughtcrime subreddits, even if you were posting something critical in them. They'll also scan your history and look for keywords and phrases that are "hate speech," even if you are quoting something, or if the "hate speech" of the day didn't exist three years ago. Doesn't matter, ban. There's no recourse either.
Yes, you're absolutely right, it's completely unreasonable to hope that your president and country have a different have a different set of governance principles than the mod of your hentai subreddit.
Given the tone of your post, and recent popular trends I'm going to make a dangerous assumption that you're probably a newbie, have been caught up in the tech craze, and don't necessarily have the life experience to tell you why everything you just post about is a terrible idea, and may possibly have run into Helldivers 2.
You realize Super Earth isn't an aspirational target right? We tune our justice system to be reactive because otherwise you quite literally have no liberty. You've locked it in a cage, and you've built a top-down controlled society instead of a bottom-up one that shapes itself. The very idea of "thoughtcrime" itself is something which shouldn't be lended any credence. The very act of trying to control thought, which is the foundation on which all modern society is built, should be repugnant. Our decisions have meaning because of the fact they need not be.
In HD2, of course, this is lampooned and turned on it's head. Things like being "Free of Thought" are celebrated. Your own individuality is corraled into being little more than a tool to further the ends of a System, which is pathologically preoccupied with the goals of it's own persistence, and expansion.
If, of course, my assumption was incorrect, you know this, and you were taking the piss out of HN, an uncomfortable number of which would jump at the opportunity to create that top down hell-state-of-affairs... Well, continue on and ignore this. If you actually desire that state of affairs, I truly, honestly beseech thee, look into how great history has gone the last bunch of times humanity got a buggering by this drive; and hope you may still be convinced away from mindlessly pursuing because it sounds cool until you realize you'll not be the one toggling the levers of power.
People on Visas are guests. It makes sense to have much more strict rules for them.
If you'd like to be around everyone from a foreign country because you think you're missing out on something there you should move there.
Most of the rest of the world is strictly worse than the US (and it's certainly different.) Don't force it on the rest of us because of your ridiculous idealism.
The devil is in the details, something had to happen after 9/11, but the PATRIOT act and invading Iraq weren't it. Likewise, yes, we should have higher standards on immigration, but maybe letting Palantir run wild and not letting people who don't have social media into the country isn't the solution.
Startup idea: Social Media Presence as a Service.
The problem is that they already ask you to list all social media profiles, so if you had a "public" account that's only unobjectionable posts, and an "alt" account where you post your political activism posts, you either have to disclose the alt as well, or you're committing a felony by lying on a form.
No joke. It will happen, just as "Admissions consultants" for schools are already a thing.
It will probably be an AI-driven service. Describe the persona you want to project and let HAL take it from there.

Its so OVER for introverts.

I don't want someone who supports terrorist groups such as Hamas in my country
Terrorism supporters run our country. Where were you on January 6?
There are domestic terrorists, but we should still try to filter out foreign terrorists and their sympathizers.

They are definitely making fun of parent comment
Right? Please be an ironic post. Please. I can't have the next gen be this dumb.

That's all. PSA over. Have a nice day.

Net immigration into the US.
Which is lower than a lot of other countries' at least when controlled for population size.

USA is #43 there.

Way too much of our political debate is binary.
