Desperate to replace the tax revenues lost due to the City’s oppressive response to the COVID pandemic, Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady has authorized a widespread surveillance of social media posts.
“There are 22 states whose residents must report for a mandatory 14-day quarantine if they travel to Chicago,” Arwady said. “Very few are voluntarily submitting to this requirement. This forces us to monitor their social media activity. If we spot selfies or other posts sent from known tourist hot spots we check to see whether other posts from the same account were made from one of the 22 mandatory quarantine states. If they were we use this as evidence to make an arrest, levy a fine, and lock the offenders up for the required 14-day quarantine.”
The Commissioner denied that this police-state tactic violates the legal right to privacy, saying that “that there is no right to privacy when public health is at stake. Besides, posting a selfie while dodging our quarantine requirement flouts the law. If we don’t crack down on such willful disobedience respect for authority will be undermined and chaos will ensue.”

Anybody who is a “tourist” in Chicago these days needs to be severely beaten just because.
There are “tourist hot spots” in Chicago??
I am so glad you’re on our side and not theirs. Your ability to come up with these fascist schemes, even as satire, are frightening.
Don’t give them any ideas.
I don’t come up with these fascist schemes. I merely expose the tyrannical actions and attitudes of our political “leaders.”
I’m sorry to say that the spying on tourists via social media is a real program in Chicago.
