Does not having a (mainstream) social media account make you look suspicious to the authorities? Is it a good idea to have an innocent looking social media account just to look "normal"?

I mean, it could also stop impersonation...
I mean, its not like not having an account is gonna stop them from collecting data. I mean, if I just have one and post cat photos, and some non-controvertial stuff like "omg look at this cool phone that Apple/Samsung just released", there's really nothing they could use against me. I can still have secret Lemmy accounts.
These days, if you don't have a social media account, you get marked as "suspicious" for some reason. I mean... ahem USA ahem.
I don't wanna end up tortured in some CIA blacksite because I legitimately don't have a (mainstream) social media account lol.
Am I crazy to want to have a mainstream social media account?

Keep the social media account and don't travel to the US. Problem solved.
don’t travel to the US
Me, already in the US, and its my only country of citizenship:
(Also, I think its kinda speading. AfD support in Germany doubled. RN in France is also kinda gaining support. 😬 Not a good time for freedom in the world)
We had a similar party here in Denmark, that became second largest party of the country with 21% in 2015, When the government introduced tough restrictions on immigration, they almost vanished a few years later, only very narrowly managing the 2% minimum requirement to have seats in parlament.
The popularity of the party was highly based on limiting immigration, much like Brexit, Trump, AfD and AFAIK also RN of France.
God damn,it really is just people being xenophobic everywhere isn't it?
I still agree with the above user it's gonna get worse though, if xenophobia truly is the common factor climate change is going to fuck Europe.

That's what it looks like to me. Italy too AFAIK.
