US Edition‘Horrifying:’ Trump Admin to Demand Years of Social Media History From some Travelers
- On Tuesday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection proposed that travellers from over 40 Visa Waiver Program countries submit five years of social media history and replace the Electronic System for Travel Authorization with an app.
- Amid a broader border crackdown, the administration earlier this month paused immigration applications from 19 'high-risk countries of concern' while the Visa Waiver Program allows low-risk citizens to enter for 90 days with law-enforcement partners sharing data.
- Under the proposal, applicants would supply five years of social media history, email addresses from the past 10 years, and data on family members, with no submission process details provided.
- Rob Preuhs said, `Well, I think a lot of people have already reconsidered coming to the United States,` warning the proposal could chill visitors as tourism from Canada declines amid tariffs and boycotts.
- The proposal would cover more than three dozen VWP countries, including Australia, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom, and Rosanna Berardi said `So, it's a whole host of information that flies in the face of the spirit of ESTA`.
