I don't think its a bad idea personally.

Its good to be selective about who you let into your country.

The world will become and more monitored in the next few years. Which will eventually lead into accountability going up and crime ceasing to exist in the next 20. years. I think it's a good thing overall but will have some awkward hiccups here and there.

I dont think thats the route we should be taking.

I think it's just more control and division. It won't enhance safety. It is a show of power from Trump towards Australia imo

This is just a ruse to capture that kangaroo porn.

America's strategic reserve of kangaroo porn is dangerously low.

@Natasha Tori Maru I think my law instructor explained it the best for me: When you are outside in a public place and there are cameras watching you, intrinsically you behave differently. Basically survelliance is in conflict with our values of freedom.

And it fits really well in the picture with Trump like you said. He is a maniac.

They also taking pictures and taking data from Canadians who go across the border.

“As well as the collection of social media information, the new document proposes the gathering of an applicant's telephone numbers and email addresses used over the last five and 10 years respectively, and more information about their family members.”

Next year is the World Cup also. 
 

God Bless America and Israel - I guess 😂

Damn... maybe the side hustle for the government is selling the data to brokers

Kangaroo porn will be used to train our AGI model.
