According to the document, the CPB also plans to request numerous additional personal data in the ESTA application. This includes all – including professional – phone numbers and email addresses used in the past five or ten years, names and phone numbers of close family members, as well as their birth dates and places. Biometric data is also included.

World's Cup is going to be a shitshow.

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Never been to a game, always wanted to go Had planned to go since the cup was announced. Decided by March or April it was not only going to be unsafe due to potential ICE raids, trump being highly visible involved potentially enticing an attack, to say nothing of the price...forget about it, wont go.

I still have the hope FIFA is going to kick the US out (most likely not to happen) or Mexico and Canda step away in hopes they hurt FIFA

How is FIFA going to kick the host of the World Cup? After literally creating a Peace Prize specifically to give it to Trump?

Hence why I said likely not to happen. But I still hold a sliver of hope
