I'm not sure I understand that objection. How will a third party collect non-public information from my Facebook account, or my email?



Maybe the surveillance economy can send a diff or two?

I fell strange linking to your own warning...


The surveillance economy is not a magic thing that sees all, though. What's the specific way in which third parties end up with my email and private Facebook data?


Sorry, I don't use Facebook, and I applaud the initiative (as I understand it, it's about limiting the exposure).

I just think that the use of a such a travel mode could be likened to/misconstrued as the practice (perilous, as you indicate), of using a decoy account, given for example, some previous snapshots of any public/semipublic social media activity suddenly invisible for the border agents.

Just trying to get a clearer view of your proposition (I think I'm doing it, thanks for answering!)
