>> The demand here isn't for your social media history, it's for your account IDs. If they want your (non-public) posts, they still have to get a warrant from a judge and show cause, just like they do now.
So what does this mean for people who want to publish their thoughts under a pseudonym? Or people who (like me) don’t have any meaningful social media presence (no Facebook, for example). Does that make them suspect, liable for more elaborate screening, easier to deny them access, etc? How far back do you have to supply your details? What if I forget to mention some account I used 10 years ago, can that be seen as failure to comply, and can it be held against me? I can see many other ways something like this could be abused to harass innocent people. In that sense, I can see where the comparison with the social credit system is coming from.
