*[Enwl-eng] Tourists would have to show social media history to enter U.S.

                        The Border agency's proposal would further ruin U.S. tourism and ramp up surveillance.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        U.S. to Require Tourists to Share 5+ Years of Social Media Data, Phone Numbers, and Email Addresses

                        The U.S. government under Trump is ramping up its efforts to restrict entrance to the country — even for tourists from ally countries. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency (CBP) recently proposed a new rule that would block non-citizens from entering the country unless they first reveal their past 5 years of social media activity.

                        Additionally, any tourist hoping to travel to the U.S. would also need to disclose all phone numbers they've used in the past 5 years, and all email addresses used in the past 10 years. The U.S. would also require biometrics — DNA, irises, face, and fingerprint data — as well as details about all family members, including their names, places and dates of birth, and current addresses.

                        This is apparently  to bring the CBP into compliance with Trump's mandate that tourists "do not bear hostile attitudes toward its citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles."

                        All of this is happening as the U.S. economy and tourism continue to decline. Some researchers say the U.S. will have lost as much as $30 billion in tourism revenue in 2025. Even more mind-bogglingly, this is happening just before the U.S. is set to host the FIFA World Cup with Mexico and Canada in 2026 and and the Olympics in 2028.

                        This amount of surveillance and scrutiny is also a violation of tourists' personal privacy and sets a frightening tone for future escalations.

                        Luckily, the CBP's plan hasn't gone into effect yet. The agency has to provide a 2-month public comment period first, which means we still have a chance to make an impact. Now is the time to speak out! Sign the petition today!
