It's perfectly possible they'd be allowed in, but either due to a malicious insider or a data breach the information will leak, and someone from the old country will come looking for revenge.
- mirimir 7y agoWell, disclosing them would keep them out. And sure, while lying might get them in, they could be kicked out later. I was arguing that, in those circumstances, perhaps it's not worth taking the risk.

- mirimir 7y agoVery true, and a concern for me. However, many years ago, I went largely offline, as my meatspace identity. I still do some social media with family, but not in English. And for decades, my work was off the record, doing litigation support. I did edit expert reports and legal documents, but most of that isn't public. And in any case, the style is different. But sure, if you blog and tweet as your meatspace identity, and then have ~anonymous personas using the same language, stylometry could nail you. There is software for protecting against that, however. And it's getting better too.
- dontbenebby 7y ago>However, many years ago, I went largely offline See, right there you're narrowing the set by leaking your approximate age. I don't think your opsec is as good as you think it is :)
- mirimir 7y agoI almost always lie about my personas :) But Mirimir in some ways is my least anonymous one.
