Sounds like the script of a Black Mirror episode to me.

Came here to say this, and cant even really connect the dots on how a hotel chain recognizing a country or not is not the bigger deal than liking a twitter post. Shoot, if I were in the same position I would think I was promoting the chain by liking posts related to it. Complete insanity.

The problem about Black Mirror is that since at least 2016 it has been leaking into this reality.

Someone with a twitter account should tweet this at Donald Trump.

That will be a real black mirror episode.

the pathos of trump was basically covered in that episode with Waldo that blue bear. fun fact: it predates trump's presidential run by several years.

Fun trivia:

Charlie Brooker talks himself of predicting a Trump-like person becoming president and that Black Mirror "Waldo" episode.

Don't recall the source.
