US Considers Mandatory Social Media Review for Foreign Tourists
The US government is considering a proposal to require foreign tourists from dozens of countries to submit their five-year social media history as a condition of entry. The move, announced by Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security, would affect tourists from countries eligible for a 90-day visa-free stay in the US.
The proposal, which has been filed with the relevant authorities, would require tourists to provide access to their social media accounts for the past five years. This could pose an obstacle to potential visitors, particularly those who value their digital rights.
The US has been tightening its border controls since President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January. The country is expected to host a major influx of foreign tourists next year, with the men's football World Cup and the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
The proposal is currently under review, and it is unclear when or if it will be implemented. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
