US Bluesky users should be careful with what they post: all posts are archived. And I guess European social media users planning to visit the US should be aware that their posts can be used against them by the Trump regime too.

The 200+ Sites an ICE Surveillance Contractor is Monitoring

404 Media has obtained the list of sites and services that ICE contractor ShadowDragon pulls data from. ShadowDragon sources data from all over the web and lets government analysts easily search it and draw connections between people.

How exactly do they claim to scan end-to-end encrypted services? :ablobcateyesflip:

That list mentions Signal and ProtonMail. So I'm wondering, is someone claiming Signal's encryption was broken or that GPG has been cracked? :blobcatthink:

Otherwise those articles are bullshit :ablobcatcoffee:

What the actual fuck. This seems to be the list of sites somebody at ShadowDragon (lmao) wants to browse on company time while pretending to do 'surveillance' 🤪

De VS is inmiddels gevaarlijker om naar toe te gaan dan Rusland.
Heeft het ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken al code oranje gegeven in hun reisadvies?

this has already been going on for years. I have a friend that wasn't allowed to enter after launching a fund raising campaign to help her in attending an acting school in the USA.

Two ('leftist') German and one English tourist have already been detained after entering the US with valid travel documents. welingelichtekringen.nl/samenl…

Twee Duitsers en een Engelse toeriste in grensdetentie: Is het voor 'linkse' Europeanen nog veilig naar de VS te gaan?

Los van elkaar zijn de laatste weken twee Duitse burgers in de gevangenis gezet aan de grens tussen Mexico en de VS. Beide hadden geldige reisdocumenten (een zogenaamde Esta) en een retourticket naar...

Just to be clear: I am not advocating self-censorship. But it's good to be aware of the consequences under the Trump regime.

People from up to 43 countries can expect to be barred from entering the US anyway: euronews.com/2025/03/15/us-con…

well… Germans start to feel the same pressure and pain, non-Europeans experience since decades.
All three cases are somehow explainable (ESTA travelers getting themselves three more months in the US by doing a one-day trip to Tijuana, green cards being flagged because of offenses).
A German passport was a decent protection against problems for decades and this has changed now.

I wonder if they are already scraping the Fediverse. Ah, I actually don't. But at least here, we don't have to worry about Mastodon archiving our posts unless we want to. Maybe it's safe to delete posts after a while, and I have been thinking about this last week 🙁 On the other hand: it helps keeping the servers light 😊

Well, not too long ago I stated that it is unlikely that I ever will be visiting the US in the rest of my life.
Last time I was there was two months before 9/11 (using their way). That time had been a 2nd visite to the Oklahoma Bombing Memorial.

What you write in digital media last forever. Govts -- corporations -- are using it more aggressively than before, especially Trump's American Fascists.

Normal readers might be paywalled or forced to register to gain access to it, as with 404 Media and many others, but it's not a hurdle to the govt.

I'm in the lucky position of not needing or even wanting to visit the USA under a repressive regime of criminals, so I'm at liberty to say this: Fuck Trump, the US government and any person that is doing the dirty work for Trump. Go ahead and save that on your fucking servers.
