Looking at that alone tells me a lot what they are thinking and what is in their mind. imagine sometimes I see my wife searching 'How is HIV transmitted', 'I dont enjoy sex any more with my husband', 'Should I confess adultery' (lol, Not my wife's real search oooo lol) grin
Why do I think?...anyway.

grin

Whats my business with US anyways. Keep fooling yourself. Even trumps immigration turned back Asian top military Generals on seminars and Artist on tour who had to cancel shows and refund ticket fee.

Black would always be slavish to whites due to their inferiority complex, and would never hold US to Account on many International human Right Chatters and Treaties they are signatory to. Because you are.nigerian and who they call you, you feel US is a priviledge..... Shiithole mindset
This comment makes super sense to me. If it were to be an app rating on Google Play store, I would've given it FIVE STARS. Wooow!!!

The US have become really paranoid, or is this just to deter visa Applicants.


I hear they have also stopped the Visa lottery
.
Tay tay but not because of terrorism.

Let's just say xenophobia played a part.

It doesn't make sense. Must I use Facebook (american), Twitter (American), Google (american), Apple (america)? This is just another level of spying and data mining.
Individual people trying to live their lives as simply as possible.
The US government can spy on their citizens' phone calls and internet activities. They also spy on other country's citizen through their applications like facebook, twitter and etc.
Huawai is lunching a 5G network and they feel the Chinese would use it to exploit their people and spy on them.
Why? Because they are all doing it.

Why do they want to mine data of people all over the world? because they want to know what you are thinking, what you like, what are your expectations. Knowledge is power! With such knowledge they can form propagandas, electoral promises, sway lots of people towards a trend and majority would be hooked. I for one confess that I always check my mum and wife's search history. Looking at that alone tells me a lot what they are thinking and what is in their mind. imagine sometimes I see my wife searching 'How is HIV transmitted', 'I dont enjoy sex any more with my husband', 'Should I confess adultery' (lol, Not my wife's real search oooo lol) grin And so if I know what my wife is thinking, I am the master manipulator! Well I am fair, I use it to the advantage of my marriage. Before you judge me, fight google and facebook and the us government, they started it cheesy grin

Imagine Google wants to build a personality profile of you, they can mine and map out data of you for the last 10 years and construct a personality profile. Their A.I knows more about you than you know yourself. ( i.e can play for you music you like etc)
News is given to me that I am interested on, sales are offered to me that I interests' me (tempting me even when I don't really want it now).

America knows about Buhari more than he knows himself. They even probably know what he intends to do before Nigerian citizens.

There is no free lunch. There is something to exchange with every application we engage with online, and in this modern age if we want to enjoy most of this high tech stuff we loss some part of our privacy.

I believe even nairaland keeps tabs of IP address lol grin

Any day a new law can spring up and nairaland could tell us all to verify our detail with our international passport if we want to continue to post on this forum.
u hit the nail on the head...there is a reason why many anti-american countries banned Facebook,Google etc....the biggest way to discern Ur hidden account is to use your picture.the facial recognition technology be is so efficient and fast that it can discern all Ur accounts with Ur passport photograph within a second. the moment they realise that u his Ur main account from them,that will be a visa denial

the Facebook/Instagram 10YearsChallenge was used to update their AI algorithms

Correct, they would say that the individual is tyring to obtain a US visa by deception, chai! grin

I believe they have put technological measures in place Already for all that before making the declaration of this new visa Application rules.

I think they don't want anymore Immigrations, for non skills Or useless immigrants grin

You have a way of bullying people with your debate. You need to tone down. We are not fighting. It’s just a proposal. No one yet has submitted his or social media account. Of course Consular officers and employers many times refer to applicant social media accounts to know more about the candidates’ character.

Hardly would the policy of submitting social media account be effected. More so, there is ethical concerns in doing that and continues to be a debate amongst policy makers. The world also have a say when America is going beyond line of comfort. Immigration is an international affair. That’s why America keeps accepting Asylum Applications till date.
RTSC:
They can't do that to their citizens. They would get sued.
You don't have as much right as an American citizen in the eyes of the US government and rightly so.

But then I don't expect a Yoruba slowpoke to understand the difference between citizens and outsiders.

It is sick clowns like you that justify acts of violence by the military against fellow Nigerians trying to exercise their fundamental Human Rights.


illiterate.
I was calm and collected, but it didn't prevent the above poster and disgusting tribal bigot from insulting and calling me 3 different names in one single post. That was me getting bullied.

I know you conveniently ignored the insults and attacks thrown at me either because you are being hypocritical or the attackers are your kinfolks. Don't judge other people's post needlessly, first read and follow the trail before attacking other people.

yeah....there is a reason workers of Amazon, microsoft and Google are protesting against their employers selling AI technology to FB/CIA etc

there is a reason many privacy-cautious Americans are boycotting Facebook and Google.

And many of the countries you are talking about are repressive police states with horrible human rights issues, they monitor and send their people to jail for accessing the wrong website or posting the things you take for granted in your own country.

It is ETERNAL SHAME on this indomie generation of Nigerians and Africans that instead of rising up to the challenges bedeviling their countries and continent, they are busy scrambling to go to heaven from the hell which their fathers created and established.
The Land flowing with milk and honey - crude oil and natural gas, and every other mineral resources that has both human resources and the other resources to turn hell into a rivaled heavenly paradise BUT they are scrambling to go to another heaven created and established by slave masters. Why won't you be the earth's downtrodden human species? Why won't you be seen as cowards and traitors, weak and useless, and treated as such? You runaway and feel like a hero in another man's heaven which people like you established. Ooh what a wasted indomie generation...

Read again, they are not asking for citizens' social media account which would be illegal.
It is not illegal, they have every right to dictate or request such info as part of their Visa app and immigration screening process.

They do demand the same social media info from job applicants in the US and it's not against their law to do so.

Nobody said it was illegal. You claimed that Nigerians will consider such a request as a threat to democracy
and I corrected you that the US is not asking its citizens for their social media details.

Job applicants choose to apply for jobs and must abide by the employers' condition according to law.
They aren't forced to apply.

If the Nigeria government decide to ask visa applicants for their SM details, no Nigerians will be affected by
such directive and it has no bearing on local democracy or governance.

that will be the biggest mistake....all the devices,email and social media u use are all networked.u can't escape it

Ur android phone is made lively with Gmail and sometimes Ur Gmail is linked to Ur phone too.they have AI that will link and discern all Ur hidden details

the biggest way to discern Ur hidden social media account is to use your picture..Never underrate the power of facial recognition technology

I laff at most Nigerians that took part in Facebook #10yearsChallenge

Nobody who has opportunity to go to US would choose China.
VillagePipu keep discouraging pipu from trying somewhere else that works and pay..Do you know only ordinary teaching chinese kids english hustle cost 100yuan/hr and monthly salary if a full time job can cost like 10000yuan/month as per average fair payment but can go more than this. 1yuan=53naira..Do d maths.

buy and sell the simplest example. You can think of something that would suit a targetted area and design/build it in china to supply d areas of interest. Men in guangzhou china doing logistic services are making a fortune which means daily most of d basic items u use r imported from china,it goes down to pencil and match stick
