This is ridiculous! Don’t make that decision for us without asking first.
Far far easier just to avoid travel to the US. The world is huge and there are far better places to visit

that’s what the whole eu thing is about. not asking the people, but the genocidal paedophiles opinions.

Why tho?
Travel to that country is getting more painful day by day. You need to give them all social media handles you’ve used in the last 5 years (which I don’t fully remember/forgot) and possibly even more. Other countries with an eVisa system just ask you for your passport number and a fee.
Fuck it, I’ll go somewhere where I don’t need that BS, like Austria, which I literally have a train ride away (or I can take a walk there).
In fact, i’ve scratched it off my list of places to see before i die. This is a country where it is illegal to bring a bottle of wine home from the restaurant but ut’s legal to carry a gun in your car.

I don’t think so.
Here in Slovakia, the EU is viewed very favourably for a reason. We can work freely in whichever EEA country we want, take a walk to neighboring countries without any border checks or just freight forward a laptop that doesn’t ship here to Wolfsthal and pick it up there. That’s the beauty of it.
Also our Brussels overlords didn’t outsource age checks to external companies, unlike the rest of the first world.
Also if the Eurofunds money isn’t misplaced to serve high-ranking politicians only, some amazing things can be achieved with it.

If it was on demand after you scan then the information gets sent that should be fine. Just providing the entire database at once is dumb.

it’s the second option?
They’ll get my data even tho I’ll never put step there?
In 2022, the US government announced that it would require access to biometric databases of countries if they wish to keep visa exemption for their citizens travelling to the US, including European Union (EU) Member States.

Social media handles? Really?
Yup: infoimmigration.com/esta-social-media-requirement…
Right at the moment when the US has become the most unappealing place to visit as a European…

Soooo can we start a petition or something?
Would definitely sign that.
I would be surprised if they didn’t already give all the data to USA, and now are just trying to legitimize it.
Is this only a concern if I travel to the US? Or is it enough to just have EDR.
wait, does this mean we no longer have to have a visa to live/work in the EU? because that would be super peak
No, fuck you it’s only for the Europeans (white straight, cis, neurotypical, from a middle class proletariat position higher) probably.
Ah that’s like, super fucked not worth it deal. Thought it meant only for people going to not all even those not wanting to go
Well, everything the US gets in their hands will probably be stored forever. EU can’t be serious.
