Tourists to the United States would have to reveal their social media activity from the last five years, under new Trump administration plans.

The mandatory new disclosures would apply to the 42 countries whose nationals are currently permitted to enter the US without a visa, including longtime US allies Britain, France, Australia, Germany and Japan.

In a notice published on Tuesday, the US Customs and Border Protection agency (CBP) said it would also require any telephone numbers used by visitors over the same period, and any email addresses used in the last decade, as well as face, fingerprint, DNA and iris biometrics. It would also ask for the names, addresses, birthdates and birthplaces of family members, including children.

CBP said the new changes to the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (Esta) application were required in order to comply with an executive order issued by Donald Trump on the first day of his new term. In it, the US president called for restrictions to ensure visitors to the US “do not bear hostile attitudes toward its citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles”.

The plan would throw a wrench into travel for the World Cup, which the US is co-hosting with Canada and Mexico next year. Fifa has said it expects to attract 5 million fans to the stadiums, and millions more visitors to the US, Canada and Mexico.

Tourism to the US has already dropped dramatically in Trump’s second term, as the president has pushed a draconian crackdown on immigrants, including recent moves to ban all asylum claims and to stop migration entirely from more than 30 countries.

California tourism authorities are predicting a 9% decline in foreign visits to the state this year, while Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles reported a 50% fall in foot traffic over the summer. Las Vegas, too, has been badly hit by a decline in visits, worsened by the rise of mobile gambling apps.

Statistics Canada said Canadian residents who made a return trip to the US by car dropped 36.9% in July 2025 compared with the same month in 2024, while commercial airline travel from Canada dropped by 25.8% in July compared with the previous year, as relations between the two countries plummeted.

The US has already started squeezing foreign tourism in other ways, slapping an additional $100 fee per foreign visitor per day to visit national parks, such as the Grand Canyon and Yosemite, on top of the regular admission fees. Nor will national parks have free admission on Martin Luther King Jr Day any longer – but they will now be free for US residents to visit on Trump’s birthday.

The notice gives members of the public two months to comment. The Department of Homeland Security, under which CBP operates, did not respond to media outlets’ requests for comment. Meta, which owns two of the biggest social media platforms – Facebook and Instagram – did not immediately respond to questions.

FIFA gave Donald a peace prize but still got no peace.

now US behave more CCP than CCP

demokrazee the new communenist?

Can accidentally become criminal if someone else having same name have been spreading USA hate speech all the time in socmed while you did not.

Or can the phrase "sounds like me, looks like me, but not me" be a viable defense?

free free Palestine type?

There goes my plan to visit the strip clubs in Nevada.

they don't want tourist. deal with it.

The United States stands to lose $30 billion in international tourism dollars this year.

Canadians are spending their money domestically, or bypassing the U.S. to go to Latin America and the Caribbean.

More Western Europeans are going to the Middle East, while Southeast Asians show rising interest in Europe.

Last 5 years all about covid

alamak...ayam sudah delete

the check for indications of


Officers look for any indication of:

Support for Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) or extremist causes.

Advocacy of violence or illegal activity.

Content that could be considered a threat to U.S. national security or public safety.

2. Hostility and Anti-American Sentiment

Content reflecting hostility toward U.S. citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles.

Derogatory, xenophobic, or hateful material that could be interpreted as a danger to the public.


yes...if they post violence , protest , hate etc....
i gues even PAS people will QUALIFY and those in MSIA who protest at US embassy

I think the not password, username. I think it's been like that the last round I applied visa, but did not mention whether they are so free to check the history or not.


Actually many Malays, esp those with a janggut one, will always stuck or have visa declined when going to the interview. I saw this and also know some people who got his Visa declined for many times, until have to hire lawyer to "clear" him

How to delete US has Fallen tered?

Digital Footprint and Archiving
Wider Access: The US government has access to sophisticated tools and the resources of various security agencies. There are numerous third-party archiving services, web caches (like the Wayback Machine), and data collection services that may have captured your posts while they were public.

Screenshots and Republication: Once something is posted publicly, anyone can screenshot it, save it, or re-post it. The content could exist on other people's profiles or in places you cannot control.

Platform Data: While major platforms like Facebook or Instagram , the government has the ability to request information through official, legal channels if an applicant is flagged for serious security concerns.

they can use a PHOTO of you and use Ai to search the www internet and other storage to get info
where you appear .

these days with technology hard to hide.
same CN have been into this for years ...that why every street the have a cam.

must wear maga cap in all pics?

kalau use apple product (Macbook, applewatch, new iphone, airpods)

got high chance to approve visa?

kalau malaysia buat?ok ka?or singapore?

They require username, login, password the whole shebang... for all socmed. Been holding 10yrs multiple entry for the last 30 years..

Topkek, like they are not already monitoring your social network activities.

I have both leisure and work visas and has been flying in and out for almost 20 years. I have never given my password before. Even the username, it's only the most recent application requires the username for the social media. My earlier visa applications all without socmed information.

Deemed a terrorist unless otherwise proven, especially when kulitification involved

"Innocent till proven guilty" rights only for citizens kek

Luckily me post nothing about US or Israel. Can go US liao

boikot!
nobody going to watch world cup now

Look at the application form for the current B-1 Visa, socmed password is there, its not optional.

But if you scrub stuff prior to handing in application they wont care right? Dunno if social media accounts track your edits also these days

That I dunno, I'm clean clean, dont comment much on socmed so I didnt really care...

your world cup is dead

Fans slam FIFA, demand halt to ‘extortionate’ 2026 World Cup ticket sales

Supporter groups say soaring ticket prices threaten to turn 2026 tournament into ‘Corporate Games’.

A fan attending every match next June and July from the group stage through the championship game faces costs of at least $6,900 via official supporter channels, based on price details released by Germany, England and Croatia’s football federations.

Premium tickets for the July 19 final at MetLife Stadium in New York are priced at $8,680, compared with roughly $1,600 for the equivalent category in Qatar.
