I wonder if this includes google accounts (since you know, google plus).
I mean, the whole notion is horrific and abysmal, but in today's OAUTH world you're not just giving up the facebook goods, you're giving up co-logins to lots of other sites too. There's other technical issues too - I use 2FA everywhere. So, do I disable the 2FA or have to give that up too? In perpetuity? I mean, I don't trust law enforcement to not go around murdering people, why should they have access to passwords?
The very thought or suggestion that this could someday happen would make me cancel any and all trips to the US for the foreseeable future (if I weren't already a US citizen who lived here, that is, and as it is I'm seriously considering emigrating in response to this administration).
The brain drain effects will have to be enormous. There's already a company focused on helping startups use Vancouver to base their remote employees. [0]
On so many levels this is bad. I'd heard the notion floated under the Obama administration, but I trusted them to be adult and see all the possible ramifications. I do not trust the Trump administration to even be in the neighborhood of rational, let alone adult. I mean, they dumped the immigration executive order with no actual warning whatsoever (besides repeatedly saying he'd do just that, I suppose). So now we have no real choice but to take them at their word.
