The move has been heavily criticised by Taoiseach Micheál Martin who described it as “excessive”.

    What if you don’t have social media? Is that an acceptable answer? Do I have to make an ig account just to get a visa?

    Shit, that’s harder than doing taxes, I won’t be deported for forgetting about a Roblox account I had when I was ten and the three different epic games accounts I made but abandoned?

    Redditors will keep posting about social credit score, meanwhile America does worse without even any public knowledge or oversight.

      White supremacy is the black hole at the center of liberal thought: not directly observable, but made apparent by how all of their other ideas orbit around it.

      Yeah, but they compartmentalize trump as “not us”. That’s not who we are. It’s a bad actor who was allowed to take over the government without any resistance. Nevermind the fact that the stage has been set for this for over 50 years and it’s just the next step down the road to whatever we are heading toward.

      Tl;Dr they will refuse to admit this has anything to do with the American Project at large and won’t countenance that trump is us. He’s distilled America

        They’ll never undo it but they’ll insist that since they didn’t make the rule their hands are tied when it comes to enforcement

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
