US plans to order foreign tourists to disclose social media histories

Australians, New Zealanders and citizens of 40 other visa-exempt countries must disclose five years' worth of social media history to visit the US, under a Trump administration plan.
Applicants would have to submit other "high-value data fields" including phone numbers from the last five years, email addresses from the past decade, personal details of family members and biometric information.
A number of legal and policy experts told The Washington Post the enhanced vetting measures are the latest attempt by the Trump administration to clamp down on critical online speech.

This sounds rather dictatorial, don't you think.
I am sure many wanna-be visitors will no longer choose the US as their holiday destination.

Mr. Trump is the greatest President the world has ever seen.
Think that will get me in?
If you want to stop anyone coming in this is a good way to do it.
Those sporting bodies who have awarded global sporting events to the USA may live to regret it.
Perhaps other countries should do the same to US citizens.
When they complain just point out to them why it happened.

I think the lights are going out over the U.S
