"Show 5-year history of social networks"/ What does the new US

Tourists from dozens of countries could be required to show five years of social media history as a condition of entry into the United States, according to a new proposal unveiled by US officials.

The new requirement will affect people from dozens of countries who are eligible to visit the US for 90 days without a visa, as long as they have completed an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) form.

Since his re-election as president, Donald Trump has taken steps to strengthen U.S. borders in general, citing national security as a primary reason. Analysts say the new plan could pose a barrier to potential visitors or harm their digital rights.

The United States is expecting a large influx of foreign tourists next year, as it will host the men's soccer World Cup alongside Canada and Mexico, as well as the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

The proposal document was submitted by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), of which the agency is a part.

In addition to collecting information from social media, the new document proposes collecting an applicant's phone numbers and email addresses used over the past five and 10 years, respectively, as well as more information about their family members.

The Trump administration previously announced it would review social media accounts during the vetting of foreign nationals applying for student visas or H1B visas for skilled workers. /CNA
