Ah, I'm thinking the policy in general rather than it being explicitly weaponised:

And from earlier - 2009:
https://www.theregister.com/2008/09/23/ ... authority/
So it's been around for ages - but the express use of it to deny entry to foreign nationals (and threaten US nationals) based on their opinions and nothing else is a bit more recent, agreed.

The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

The full empathy quote which gets cut off.Jobbo wrote: Wed Sep 10, 2025 10:13 pm He believed empathy was a bad thing, and he publicly stated that a few gun deaths a year were worth it for the right to bear arms. So respecting his own beliefs I will not give a shit about his passing.
“I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term, and it does a lot of damage. I much prefer the word compassion, and I much prefer the word sympathy. Empathy is where you try to feel someone’s pain and sorrows as if they’re your own. Compassion allows for understanding.”
