Oneida County will hire outside vendor to screen your social media accounts for a PP

[Cavalry]

Ok, I have a serious question, and if someone knows the answer, I would love to know :

I have NEVER had ANY account on ANY platform that would typically be considered "social media", such as tweeter, facebook, myspace, instawhatever, and all the rest. The ONLY one would be HERE, if this qualifies as such. So, when my re-cirt comes around, and they ask me for all my social media accounts, what happens when I tell them I don't have any ? How will they know ? Will they find my account here somehow ? If so, HOW ?

They cannot unless they get a warrant for your devices or subpoena records from your ISP. It would not matter in your case regardless, social media examination currently is for new permits, not recerts.

Here is a concept. One could make up media accounts in someone your want to destroy name via a proxy server and anonymous email. Fill that account with scathing anti gov, racist, misogynist, homo/transphobic memes. Flavor it with real pics and events from their actual social media for realism. Distribute links freely.

 

[Deplorable Me]

But that's what I'm asking - How would they know about my account here ? Is there some reporting mechanism linked to my email ?

I can't see this NOT getting thrown out in court, but it won't get thrown out until after it goes into effect. There might ( should) be an immediate injunction to stop it, but I still wonder how this is supposed to work.

Volunteer nothing. Make them ask for a specific list of which you will not be on those sights. Do not respond to vague. Ask for clarifications.

Asking about them is absolutely an unconstitutional and illegal requirement.

However, lying about having them on an official form is still a crime. I would have to look closely at their definition (if there even is one) before I would attest that I do not have one.

Hunter and I share the same accounts.
So I'm good to go!

 

[Grimscale]

I'm not providing anything to them.
Yes, I have a Facebook account. It lets me keep in touch with friends and family, and also follow certain hobbies I like.
I use Discord for my gaming guild.
I use Google chat to talk to a friend.
I'm on various forum, including this one.

And they don't need to know a single one of them. I'm not sacrificing one Right to get permission from a tyrannical government to BARELY exercise another.

And it isn't just for new applications. Aren't they requiring it for recertifications, also?

 

[fresch]

If not they will.

Having a cyber background myself I can say that it will not be easy for them to even find you have an account on a forum, unless you use common associations.

The software used simply scours the common social media accounts for your name and then looks for "trigger words". It also looks for common names and aliases. Lets say your twitter handle is "gunlover4life", when they find your twitter (based on your name or if you provide it to them like a good boy), they will then scour the net for that name as well. Now say you use that same name on this forum and they find some "trigger words". Bam, you will be getting a call from the gestapo. You can deny it I guess, but the software will most likely find other things that may have been said that link you to the account such as "Went shooting over at the Moose River plains" (location matching).

Best thing to do is not have any social media, but if you do I would scrub it of as much content as possible. They say nothing is truly deleted on the internet, but at least Facebook and Twitter aren't cached. As far as forums, don't use common names and use an e-mail that isn't linked to your full name. Could they find you if they tried hard? Well yea, with warrants and subpoenas possibly, but they don"t have the resources to do all that for tens of thousands of people.

I honestly think a lot of this will be based on people willingly giving their information up. If they don't, I think the counties won't care as they did their part to fulfill the stupid law and call it done.

I will just say I used to work in a tech position to confidently inform you that all of your information is available whether you use social media or not. Do you have a cell phone? Do you send text messages? Do you have email accounts? Let me point you to an operation in NYC that is discussed in a well done YouTube video. If you're interested: TitianPoint

 

[fresch]

First let me see all government employed info. Only then you can f off about mine. Not your business.

 

[Bustedknees]

Oneida county sheriff is a democrat and Pacentti sells out to the highest bidder at every turn.

 

[camper4lyfe]

I haven't made a meaningful post on main social media in probably five years. It's a waste of my time.

Also, fuck Hochul.

That is all.

OH hell, I'm posting all day every day. If them sumbitches want to go through my shit, I'm going to take ALL their time.

And that's the problem. The "I don't have anything to hide" crowd will give this teeth and precedent. It will also take YEARS to move through the courts to get struck down. Good luck all.

I use my real name 80% of the time... I am not hard to find on social media. I stand behind my words, people here have easily figured out who I am. If speaking the truth hurts me so what, I will not tone down or shut up - it is my right as an American.

Seriously at this point, they just want to shut us up and many will comply, this is just one more step to total control of the masses. I will not comply and I will not shut up. I have been posting online since before the internet existed. Netscape 1.0 was my first browser with the internet, www.whitehouse.gov the very first site as it was one of the first online. Before that is was gopher:// and BBS's.

 

[Steal2B]

I tone it down here quite a bit. Its a good thing nobody else can hear some of the shit I think about. I have even toned that down lately because I believe 5G can read minds. Thoughts will never be crimes though, right?

My liberal neighbor with a weakly protected wi-fi network may find it interesting if they ever apply for a permit.

My personal social media presence is small and tidy.

FBI Agents and Homeland Security have confirmed I have heavily redacted files and the 70s are just pages of black swaths.

for now

In the passed Extraordinary Session bill, in Section 1. 1. Eligibility it states that the providing of 3 years of Social Media information is a requirement for both new licenses and re-certs.

 

[Steal2B]

for now

For now meaning today, yeah. After September unless it is repealed re-certs require identification of one's past three years of social media.

i was thinking of 20,000 hours of just blank tape LOL ..

I'd give them a tape with 18 minutes missing.

I'm in a similar boat...

My wife and family have confirmed I have heavily redacted memories and the 2010s are just years of black swaths.

I haven't had a drink since 12/2020, and the only other thing that has changed is I don't have to relearn I hate this government every morning. That hate has been hitting higher highs consistently ever since.

I can't wait to hear what kinds of trigger words they're going to be looking for.

Too numerous to count.
