Basically, anyone who posts on DU will likely be banned

Tourism is way off in Florida & Vegas already.......especially for Canadians and Europeans coming over here......

And the ski resorts in Colorado were already hurting, and it will get much worse if we don't get some snow in the mountains.....

(If the snowpack doesn't improve drastically....Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Southern California's water supply is going to be really hurting.)

Already a done deal here in the Keys.

The entire massive rental condo market is basically dead, and a lot of the people who bought them, purely as an investment, to rent for the winters, can't even make their mortgage payments.......

Do you suppose that any of them are blaming the Republicans, or just watching FOX and believing that it is the fault of....

Biden
Hillary
Obama
Bill Clinton
Carter
Governors of Blue States

Desantis has a major roll in all of his state's woes......

To visit a country where they are not welcome.
Eff that shit.

Apart from the more obvious issues, how would one actually provide such information and who would check it all (AI??)?

Does DU for instance count as "social media"? Would I have to provide a copy of all my posts to DU?

I'm finding it hard to take this seriously. It is more likely another example of Trump firing another WMD (Weapon of Mass Distraction).

This decline was before the new rules

and his fellow Axis members.

THIS.IS.WHY.

They think if the tourists are scared away then Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Vegas, and other big successful cities that they hate will suffer just like they thought the Epstein files would be all about Bill Clinton, Tom Hanks, Bill Gates etc. not Trump or Bannon. They don’t even consider what the revenue loss from businesses in parts of the country outside of their Christian Nazi towns will do to local economies and the tax base. All they care about is Trump’s policies are hurting people they don’t like.

Jesus...

It’s like the idiots who refused to serve lgbtq. Turning away money. Great business model. And they wonder why their small towns are dying. The younger people wanted out and industry left when they couldn’t get enough reliable employees and the customer base dried up.

Wilderness tourism is a big thing in a lot of red states.
And the flyover regions depend on a reasonably healthy economy subsidized by both international goodwill and tourist revenue from destination cities and regions to keep their welfare dollars coming in.
Otherwise, it's "how we going to pay our taxes and keep the farm or homestead when Social Security goes bust, the subsidies and easy loans dry up, and all the good paying local Federal or State jobs disappear?"...

Your small town is going to be auctioned off for pennies and your homes foreclosed on and posted against squatters because some international Tech Bro or out of state RNJ hedge fund/Mafia group now owns your "legislatures" and your ass.

Enjoy living in your broke down RV or car and tent parked down by a river or along the side of a rural highway for as long as you can scavenge food and water. Or until the boss-man runs you off his hunting and fishing lodge compound.

Get out the plywood, boys; it's time to board up more houses and businesses.

When their businesses or farms go belly up they just 'win' more from the government in the form of undeserved and unearned SOCIALISM (ie grants, bailouts, subsidies, welfare, tax refunds, tax exemptions, forgiven bankrupties, etc. etc. etc.)

The red states are so F'ing stupid, they can't equate one with the other, and have no clue that Blue States have been carrying them all along. When the Blue States stop being able to carry them, because our economies are killed too, they will be in MUCH WORSE SHAPE.

Dems need FAR better messaging, to make even a dent in the pathetically ignorant world-view in magaland.

Soooooooooooooooo many bad decisions oozing out of him like pus from an infected wound.

A traitor, a Constitutional-definition traitor, since curtains 1987.

He wanted/wants Trump Tower Moscow, so arranged for the Miss Universe Pageant (owned then by Trump) to be held in Moscow.

The Steele MI-6 Dossier is real and factual.

Trump's hang-dog posture and grim expression in emergence from a meeting shouted "owned by Putin."

Siding with Russia and urging surrender by Ukraine.

And more.

Lie after lie. Outrage after outrage. Cheating and MORE cheating.

It’s just damn hard to believe how he can keep getting away with all this shit.

WHEN does it stop???

WHEN is HE stopped???

Unless they live in Russia, N. Korea or Saudi Arabia, which might feel like a lateral move. The Felon is trying his best to make this a "sh*thole Country".

Nah, this is my Country and it's worth fighting for. You Maga's are the complainers, you should leave.

years of social media documentation before getting a visa. Americans will lose millions in tourism revenue a a result. A madman is in charge, and he will remain in charge until Republicans in congress come to their senses and put a stop to the carnage.

and we deserve it.

the party of BIG GUBMINT strikes again

.....FREEDUM! lol

means to eliminate one out ov every ten. I'm sure this will do aorse than that.

... for anyone who criticized the best president in history.

no. Also, what, for example, Canadian would want to come here when the Federal government is actively hostile to their nation and a full-third of US citizens are outright batshoot crazy?

Sorry, folks, love you to death, but for your own protections -- stay away until we have put our house in order and evicted MAGA and its fellow travelers.

What a dunce

If they actually talk to anybody who lives outside the United States, they will understand how laughable that is. They have so many other choices of where to spend their tourist dollars, and nobody wants to spend them here under this obscene regime. Take a look at what a ghost town Vegas is.

5 years of tax returns from a convicted felon president .

My concern is that the gestapo will come for citizens who don't kiss the orange ass.

If implemented, it's going to cost us over 100 billion dollars a year, and have a negative impact on all 50 states.
Not many foreigners would risk having something on social media that would result in them being "detained", or refused entry.
Considering both direct and indirect workers, it would result in well over a million jobs being lost.
Just like with farmer communities, there are a lot of support businesses that provide goods and services to the tourism industry. They're also going to take a big hit.

Trump is bound and determined to turn the US into a shit hole country.

It's the totalitarian brutalism and free speech violation that should be the focus. That any criticism of Trump, MAGA or anything else Dear Leader see's fit disqualifies one from entering the US should be combatted from every quarter. This is just a stepping stone to doing this to US citizens in-country. SCOTUS would find in the Orange Asshole's favor should he do this to US citizens.

Another thing - this could cause foreign countries to retaliate by doing the same to Americans traveling abroad. This could result in danger to US citizens if they criticize Israel or Chinese leaders, or other leaders where criticism of, say the monarch, is criminalized like in Thailand and Saudi Arabia.

Remember - they literally sawed Jamal Khashoggi apart for criticizing Saudi royalty and society. Who's to say they wouldn't arrest a US citizen upon entry to, say, Thailand upon review of critical social media posts.

Seriously.
It's now a thing.
Think about that for a minute.

they only want to allow other fascist/russian low
life's in - the republican't hate America, period

therefore, making our lives unbearable.

This is what the GQP has done and still doing.

Should have done that months ago.
If I were in most of the countries qualifying I would say just boycott the games. Blow the whole thing up.

to Mexico and Canada. Just drop the US.

a horrible idea, I have a hard time believing this will ever happen. How would it even work? How does one go about "providing" the their last five years of social media? Assuming this is doable, then what. There are thousands of people hired to read people's Facebook, Tiktok, and whatever else? With people who can speak every known language? You'd need a whole new infrastructure to carry it out.

FIFA thought giving needy man-child Donald Trump his silly "peace prize" would save their World Cup from being hosted by a demented police state.

While expelling 'undesirables'.

We visited the US way back in 1988, no red tape that I can remember.
Just an Aussie passport.

Would I visit in 2025? Not a chance.

Places that rely on tourist dollars will end up with tumbleweeds rolling down their streets.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted
