"Of course my good sir, it's @uspatriot2015." Now, let's all agree to not tell them we can have more than one account! Or to be slightly more specific, I'll give them the facebook account where I dutifully like all the boring funny dog videos and ugly baby photos of relatives, and I'll keep my seditious rabble rousing anti-establishment twitter ac to myself.
Background check can be instant and automated. Terminal will just display entry denied message. Israel already does something similar. In result it will drive normal discussion underground, and we will see more surprises such as Brexit referendum results.
Indeed Israel does it, but only for Arabic or Muslim tourists that present certain characteristics - political engagement for instance. So it does exist but it's really not mainstream
Do they not see the irony, in a nation of people that used to got the short end of discrimination and thought policing, now doing it themselves?
Time to set up some sanitized accounts for plausible deniability?
Likely unnecessary. 1. Unless you are taking extraordinary measures to sever all connections between yourself and your online presence, odds are there are enough links for any Government to tie a person to an account. Given how much is collected at the border already along with the big-data collected passively by the various TLA Government Orgs, they simply need to pop in your Passport ID or Drivers License or State…
