US May Ask Tourists For 5-year Social Media History To Gain Entry…

Tourists from dozens of countries may be asked to provide a five-year social media history as a condition for entering the US, under a new proposal from the Trump administration.
In addition to social media history, the Trump administration also plans to ask visitors from 42 countries to submit extra personal information before entering the country.
This information would include telephone numbers and email addresses used over the last five and 10 years, respectively, and information about their family members.
According to a notice published in the Federal Register, the data would be “mandatory” for new arrivals from the 42 countries in the visa waiver program.
The list of countries in the program includes many European nations, such as the UK, Germany, and France, as well as US allies Australia, Israel, Japan, and South Korea.
Although citizens of these countries usually don’t need visas to travel to the US, they still have to apply online through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA).
