United States President Donald Trump\u2019s administration plans to order visa-exempt foreign tourists to disclose their social media histories from the last five years before entering the country, according to an official notice.<\/p>\n
The proposal, laid out in a notice published on Tuesday in the Federal Register, would apply to visitors from 42 countries, including Britain, France, Australia and Japan, who do not need a visa to enter the United States.<\/p>\n
Currently, those travellers only need to apply for a waiver known as the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA), which still requires them to provide certain personal details.<\/p>\n
Under the proposed new rules, the collection of social media data would become a \u201cmandatory\u201d part of ESTA applications. Applicants would need to provide their social media histories from the last five years, according to the notice.<\/p>\n
They would also have to submit other \u201chigh-value data fields\u201d including phone numbers from the last five years, email addresses from the past decade, personal details of family members and biometric information.<\/p>\n
The public has 60 days to comment on the proposal.<\/p>\n
The Trump administration has tightened curbs on entering the United States, part of a sweeping crackdown on migration.<\/p>\n
Along with Mexico and Canada, the US will host the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is certain to attract large numbers of football fans from across the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
