BlazeUS could ask tourists for five-year social media history before entry
The plan would affect people from countries, including the UK, who can fill out a form in lieu of a visa.

How come?
pelespiritAs well as the collection of social media information, the new document proposes the gathering of an applicant’s telephone numbers and email addresses used over the last five and 10 years respectively, and more information about their family members.
sp3ctreI don’t see that in the article, where did you hear that?
Edit 3: Found it. Yep, back to nazi act alert:
Memorandum Updating All Forms to Collect Baseline Biographic Data, CBP will add several “high value data fields” to the ESTA application, when feasible. This is in addition to the information already collected in the ESTA application. The high value data fields include:
- a. Telephone numbers used in the last five years;
- b. Email addresses used in the last ten years;
- c. IP addresses and metadata from electronically submitted photos;
- d. Family member names (parents, spouse, siblings, children);
- e. Family number telephone numbers used in the last five years;
- f. Family member dates of birth;
- g. Family member places of birth;
- h. Family member residencies;
- i. Biometrics – face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris;
- j. Business telephone numbers used in the last five years;
- k. Business email addresses used in the last ten years.
Could we citizens of the 5 eyes countries gag on the boot any harder ?
Fuck we are pathetic at what we take from our governments.
They’re still expecting tourists to visit? How cute!
FIFA World Cup is going to be interesting
UltraGiGaGiganticIsnt that LA in 2028?
I know of more than enough people from my closest field (work, friends and family) that are not in the slightest disencouraged from this which is a fucking mistery.
Destroy the economy some more, please. Thank you.
All this winning’s getting hard guys hard
At this point, he’s got to be a Russian agent. He’s pretty much single-handedly dismantled the United States on every level.
To be fair the heritage foundation earned a little credit
He’s owned by Israel.
Definitely not single-handledly, there’s a lot of republicans working on this.
Also, given how dumb and incompetent he is I’m sure he’s just a clown distracting people. So the Epstein class can achieve their goals.
Marasenna
gnuthing [they/them]I dunno why he has to be a Russian agent. Like the American people are somehow incapable of electing an imperialist piece of shit?
Not sell weapons to Ukraine
Yeah that’s why I deleted my Facebook and Instagram accounts a couple weeks ago.
I deleted my Twitter account when Musk bought it.
I wonder if they check Mastodon though.
Weren’t they already doing this? I could have sworn some French researcher was denied entry over this months ago.
merdaverseId also want the history of tourists who are crazy enough to come to the US.
Imagine having the money to take a visit to the US and not using the money to visit someplace actually nice.
Too bad i dont have any social media, so i will probably be flagged as a terrorist.
Colonel PanicUS could go fuck themselves. people should stay away from the fascist banana republic anyway
Banana Republic? I wasn’t even aware that brand was still around but I’m really confused how that relates to anything… What did I miss? Guessing they supported Trump?
the term doesn’t refer to a company in this context
it’s more about Trump being a textbook Tropico dictator (Tropico is a game btw)
Banana republic (politics) | Description, Origin, History, Examples, & Facts | Britannica
The derogatory term banana republic refers to a country that has an economy dependent solely on revenue from exporting a single product or commodity. It typically has a highly stratified socioeconomic structure and is politically unstable. The term was coined by American author O. Henry in 1901.
I had no idea there were alternate meaning. Now I’m going to have to find out if the company named itself after that, and if so why…
Got to learn something today!
BlackmistIf your social media history doesn’t block you from access to the US, what the fuck are you even playing at?
Why would you visit America right now? I live in a major tourist zone, and I’m here to ask foreign tourists to go somewhere else right now. There are lots of nice places in the world, where the government will appreciate you visiting and spending your money. America isn’t one of them.
give us your handles and we’ll run them thru our LLMs, I’d imagine?
This is like a man standing inside a fire saying “you’re not allowed to step in this fire with me unless you hand over your information!”
Uhh no thanks, I’ll stay out of the fire. Thanks. Nice try.

PyrWhat if you have no social media?
I deleted it all over five years ago, Reddit almost 3 years ago.
Other than Lemmy that is. That’s all I got if that counts as social media.
I feel like they wouldn’t believe me though and deny me. How do you prove you don’t have something?
They legitimately find lack of social media to be a red flag.
