TOURISTS entering America will have their social media histories checked at border control, if the latest Trump administration mandate is enforced.
The proposed social media screening would apply to all tourists – including Brits – entering the US, regardless of whether they need a visa or not.
The Federal Register notice states it would be mandatory for all foreign tourists to provide data from their social media from the past five years, including email addresses and phone numbers.
Names, addresses, numbers and birthdays of family members would also be included in the compulsory information passed to the country’s border force.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has also proposed that moving forward, ESTA applications would require a selfie and wants to collect biometrics including face, fingerprints, DNA and iris data.
