    > U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced it will begin screening immigrant’s social media for evidence of antisemitic activity as grounds for denying immigration benefit requests. The screenings will affect people applying for permanent residence status, and foreigners affiliated with educational institutions. The policy will go into effect immediately.

    > In a statement issued this morning, the Department of Homeland Security said it will “protect the homeland from extremists and terrorist aliens, including those who support antisemitic terrorism, violent antisemitic ideologies and antisemitic terrorist organizations such as Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, or [the Houthis].”

  2. Antisemitism in this case meaning any opinion critical of Israel. Rest assured actual neo nazis won’t be impacted.

    I remember a time when the government searching through anyone’s social media would’ve made half the population of America lose their minds.

    A warm round of applause to all the useful idiots who spent the last two years aguing in bad faith that groups like Canary Mission were actually righteous, lol.

    Like this isn’t fascist-y and dystopian. BTW, this is exactly why you should never, ever post anything online under your real name.
