Is this actually true? People are going to have to surrender their social media history if they want to visit the US?

From what i have heard on the news it will be the past 4 years of social media.. I have absolutely no idea how one would go about providing all that??? But in the end i don't have to worry because i was not planning to take a trip to the USA..

Yes. Widely reported in the UK this week that this will be a requirement. So that puts usa off the holiday list then.

@OldBrit No great loss at the moment, IMO

Yup... Even more reason to stay away....I think it's a test to see how Americans react to it before it's applied locally

If I'm not mistaken it only applied to Facebook and Instagram...

@thisguy20 the guidance from the USA embassy in the UK states "All" social media profiles. So sw too, threads, x etc etc

I’ll just go to Canada or Australia instead

I hadn't heard about it, but it wouldn't surprise me. MAGAs would probably like to have citizens surrender it before they're allowed to vote, too.

something ironic about Brits complaining about enhanced vetting...

The UK is essentially a police state, and one of the most (if not the most) heavily surveilled countries in the world. The KGB and Stasi would've creamed themselves if they even had half that capability...

@wildbill83 uk has around 11 cameras per 100 people, the US around 15. Plus the UK doesn’t ask for social media history to check whether you’ve said mean things about the PM.

@G7J2O is that what your masters tell you? 🤔

So they say. 😂😂
G7J2O · M
@Anniedlr Meh, I've visited the states enough times for now. I'll wait until he's gone
Anniedlr · 31-35, F
@G7J2O I totally agree with you 😂
OldBrit · 61-69, M
@G7J2O he'll not go. He'll get a third term minimum.

Yep. No joke.

@Strictmichael75 I could have predicted it would end like this when he decided NBC was evil for letting Saturday Night Live make fun of the president like they have every other president since the beginning of the show.
