US could demand five-year social media history from tourists before allowing entry

OMG, can you even imagine having to share all that stuff online ? Like, I get it, security is important and all, but come on, do we really need to be judged on what we post on social media? It's like, a little too much info, if you ask me . And what about people who don't have all the right handles or forgot about an old phone number . It's just gonna cause so many problems and stress out travelers, for sure . I'm worried that this is gonna scare off a lot of potential tourists and hurt our economy . And, tbh, who are they gonna check all these profiles anyway?

I'm not sure what's more concerning, the fact that they're considering requiring us to share our online history or that it's just another example of how overbearing big brother wants to be . I mean, come on, five years' worth of social media activity? That's a lot of personal info to ask for. And what's next, are we gonna have to give them our browsing history too?

It's just common sense that this kind of requirement is gonna deter people from traveling to the US. I know some people might think it's necessary to keep the country safe, but at what cost? Our freedom to express ourselves online shouldn't be used as a way to control who can enter the country. And let's be real, most people aren't doing anything shady just because they're sharing their cat pics on Instagram .

It's like, we already have enough red tape when it comes to traveling, and now you want us to share our personal info too? It's just not necessary, if you ask me. And what about the implications for people who don't even have social media accounts? Are they gonna be left out in the cold?

This just feels like another example of how the government is trying to exert more control over our lives, and I'm just not okay with it

omg this is getting crazy !! so now they wanna know every single post you made on instagram 5 yrs ago? like, what's next? asking for our brain waves too? seriously though, who does that? i mean, isn't social media already kinda private by design? and what about all the ppl who don't even have public profiles? this just seems like a total overreach . i get it, they wanna beef up security, but is it really worth scaring off tourists?! i guess only time will tell if ppl actually go through with it
