Those looking to buy a gun in New York may need to submit their social media profiles and search history prior to purchase if new firearm legislation in the state becomes law.
Under the legislation drafted by Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and State Senator Kevin Parker, both Democrats, up to three years worth of search history on social media would be able to be reviewed, ABC Action News reported.
Senate Bill 9191, according to WHAM, mandates "social media and search engine reviews prior to the approval of an application or renewal of a license to carry or possess a pistol or revolver; requires a person applying for a license to carry or possess a pistol or revolver or a renewal of such license to consent to having his or her social media accounts and search engine history reviewed and investigated for certain posts and/or searches over a period of 1-3 years prior to the approval of such application or renewal; defines terms." Under the proposed legislation, law enforcement officials could investigate "commonly known profane slurs used or biased language used to describe race, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, disability or sexual orientation; threatening health or safety of another person, or an act of terrorism."

Wow!
...law enforcement officials could investigate "commonly known profane slurs used or biased language used to describe race"So any use of "whitey" is going to automatically stop criminals from using stolen guns. Right?

That is an interesting question. Security from foreign origins is an issue.

FR and DU are also social media.True. And, am I (or anyone) supposed to remember the once-every-few-months posts I drop on YouTube or Disqus?
The Chinese have a more comprehensive solution, I read: They watch everything, and fold it into your "social score."
To: Texas Fossil
And if your only social media presence is FR, is that an instant denial? 👹

search engine history reviewed and investigated Will repeated google image searches for "Taylor Swift" + "wardrobe malfunction" be cause for concern?
Asking for a friend.

Nope.
Cwii really needs to just start in earnest so we can just be done with it sooner rather than later.

They will tighten the screws on everything.
That’s why I tell the liberals cheering all the machinations (derp state - we’ll go with bagster’s term) going on that they’re fools. They don’t know the beast they’re building.
They will.
