Not hacker news, but my "anonymous" online postings that were anti-TSA most certainly affected my travel experience. And I'm not talking radical activist postings. Just real world bs postings about my continued bad experiences, and my personal opinions such as the one in my original post.
- brokenmachine 10y agoReally? How did they connect your "anonymous" postings to you at the border? Did they go through your web history?
- bigbugbag 10y agoSo there is this thing called internet tracking, then there is this other thing called google or is it facebook or is it nsa ? well I don't really remember[1] but they are really good at it. One my friend was interviewed at the border, asked if she was coming to work, answered no, been show her private facebook message saying she would be looking for a job there, got denied entry and put on a special list. [1]: was it carnivore? echelon? five eyes? man my memory is not so good.
- narutouzumaki 10y agoI cannot believe it is possible to actually access private messages in social networks such as facebook in such a willy nilly manner - that is not to say I do not believe you, but can you give some form of proof? Did they force her to open her account or did they have access beforehand? How did your friend react?
