I mean, even democratic countries are using mass surveillance, not just autocratic ones. So I think, just like with mass surveilance, this “Social Media Investigation” would become the next step in the evolution of how technology is used against us, every country is gonna start scanning your social media.

    Tbh the only country I ever worry about will actively try to deport me for just trying to be a tourist, on some bogus charge after checking social media, would be the US. Can’t ever think of any other country that would care or act with the same sense of superiority as the US.

    US is also like the only country, as far as I know, in the world that presumes you want to immigrate there and you have to prove them otherwise to be let through

      EU countries aren’t exactly fond of, say, anti israel protests, because they always conflate anti-zionism with anti-semiticism.

        There are some EU countries who are way too fond of Israel but even still, people have more freedom of speech there than those in the US

        Bullshit.

        If you get violent or say forbidden stuff, like Israel has no right to exist, you will get problems. Otherwise not

          Saying Israel has no right to exist is covered in an isolated sense in every EU country I can think of. It only becomes a problem if you say or imply that committing genocide against Israelis is a “solution”, or otherwise advocate for violence or hate crimes.

          Saying that “a two state solution can never work, Israel should be absorbed by Palestine and other neighbouring countries” is a legitimate political opinion that is protected by free speech.
