Social Media Needs a Travel Mode

Much of the point of the cloud shift was to get your data into the ownership of a private company who can make money off it.

If, for example, Apple can make up some lost money on iCloud with new obsidian gunmetal TimeCapsules with plausible deniability and localhost-tunneling features to sell to rich people, I'm sure they will try and do it.

What if you have a long password that you cannot remember? Same for email, etc.

I don't have fb on my phone. And I don't remember the password. They would have to make me do a password reset via email, which might work.

Each feature we add for our own convenience makes a more tempting prize for a potential adversary.

Edit: Whether or not a particular feature/behaviour is reasonable or crazy depends entirely on the level of threat.

Why shouldn't non-citizens be protected by The Constitution? Not a lawyer, but these came up pretty quick in a Google search.

"It is well established that, if an alien is a lawful permanent resident of the United States and remains physically present there, he is a person within the protection of the Fifth Amendment. He may not be deprived of his life, liberty or property without due process of law."

Kwong Hai Chew v. Colding

". . . The Bill of Rights is a futile authority for the alien seeking admission for the first time to these shores. But, once an alien lawfully enters and resides in this country, he becomes invested with the rights guaranteed by the Constitution to all people within our borders. Such rights include those protected by the First and the Fifth Amendments and by the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. None of these provisions acknowledges any distinction between citizens and resident aliens. They extend their inalienable privileges to all 'persons,' and guard against any encroachment on those rights by federal or state authority."

Bridges v. Wixon

"The alien, to whom the United States has been traditionally hospitable, has been accorded a generous and ascending scale of rights as he increases his identity with our society. Mere lawful presence in the country creates an implied assurance of safe conduct and gives him certain rights; they become more extensive and secure when he makes preliminary declaration of intention to become a citizen, and they expand to those of full citizenship upon naturalization. During his probationary residence, this Court has steadily enlarged his right against Executive deportation except upon full and fair hearing. . . . And, at least since 1886, we have extended to the person and property of resident aliens important constitutional guaranties -- such as the due process of law of the Fourteenth Amendment."

Johnson v. Eisentrager
