US plans to scrutinize foreign tourists' social media history. Even visitors from Britain and France etc, whose citizens don't need visas, would have to share five years' worth of social media.
This sort of reminds me of how employers would require social media history, because they wanted to avoid scandals or whatever, but I didn't have any. I ended up having to bite the bullet, but I gave the social media as little information as possible, did it over the web, and then made a little automation script that just interacts with Daily Dose of the Internet style slop. Doing that genuinely gave me a boost in multiple hiring processes.

I hate this. My job and my personal life should have nothing to do with each other if I don't want it too.
I know this is the way it is and has been for like almost 2 decades now but it just keeps getting more and more invasive.
It's not good for someone like me who is anxious and audhd.

This is literally the "social credit" nonsense that libs were crying about China supposedly committing. But I guess it's fine when capitalist businesses do it to the point of restricting your employability

The factory I had worked at before had an actual rule on their books saying that you can't say anything negative about the company on socials or you'll risk being disciplined or terminated, same goes for drinking while wearing anything with the company logo. Which btw part of the dress code there was that you had to wear a shirt with the company logo on the floor.

Sort of, but companies want your personal social media to check for potential controversies. People aren't posting politics or self-porn on LinkedIn the same way. LinkedIn is just a way to show off skills, networking, education, and experience.

They for sure are posting it now. Its very common to see an unhinged CEO commenting under a DEI article from the Higher Ed Chronicle or something.

Would this reduce tourism? Like, risk of getting locked up in some ICE concentration camp?

I’ve noticed this myself. You used to get a lot of rich Guatemalans going there for stuff like Disney or Vegas. Recently they’ve been going to Mexico or neighboring countries. There used to be more flights to the Caribbean too before the US navy started blowing people up.

They'll have to share their Hexbear history
