It seems the mentality of the United States rulership have shifted back to the dark ages.
I wonder if accusing people of being witches is next.

not reading that. lemmy devs, please get on blocking "news" sources in the vein of sun, nypost, etc.
edit: I don't mean the mods should ban domains. I want the option to not show submissions from certain domains, like the ones I mentioned, as there's zero chance I'd ever read anything from them. a buncha reddit (and lemmy) clients have that option.
You mean implementing a functionality with which users can block posts from certain URLs to show up on their feeds?

Keep in mind that TSA searching peoples' phones was already policy under the last few administrations. Which is part of why I wasnt interested in traveling there even before the lunatic.

China also has horrific human rights abuse and rampant organ farming/trafficking.
You are thinking of the Only Democracy in the Middle East

A 21-year-old tourist has described the horrendous treatment he allegedly received after being denied entry to the USA due to a meme depicting JD Vance as bald being found on his phone
Just get a burner to travel. Quit bringing your phones here.

That's not something the admins can do. Ask the devs for that.

that's crazy honestly

I've been in Britain before, they didn't check my phone
And even if, a meme about someone in the UK government would also not get you denied entry.

Or educate yourself and learn to filter based on the source of the data. Doesn't mean the reporting is not factual but it may be embellished to serve a narrative.

That should be against privacy laws in some countries and considering you can sue people from outside the US into the US court because of US rules it would make sense to have it the same with that human rights form one country exist in other countries.
Sadly the world isn't built ontop of logic. -

boost for reddit (and lemmy) has the option to ignore posts from certain domains. since I have no intention ever reading anything from the domains I mentioned, I'd appreciate it in the web version.

I've been avoiding travel to the US since the Patriot Act that followed 9/11 started that kind of shit and more in general the US started moving away from Democracy and into Autocracy.
Last time I felt like traveling to the North American continent I just went to Canada instead for a whole month - sea kayaking in British Columbia, hiking in the Canadian Rockies, sightseeing in Quebec . Highly recommended by the way.

it would allow you entry

See - this is the thing with people going on about how its so oppressive in countries outside of "The West" where they will arrest people for insulting their king on Facebook or some shit.
We are no better. I'm not American but Britain does the same kind of shit. Read some declassified police case files, the cops pick on weird shit on people's phones.

Most likely.
