US border control could start asking for your social media accounts
The US government is proposing making social media accounts part of the visa screening process for entry into the country.
US Customs and Border Protections proposed change would add a line on both the online and paper forms of the visa application form that visitors to the US must fill out if they do not have a visa and are planning on staying for up to 90 days.
The following question would be added to both the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (Esta) and I-94W forms: Please enter information associated with your online presenceProvider/PlatformSocial media identifier.
The information will be optional, for now, but the proposed change published by the US Federal Register states that collecting social media data will enhance the existing investigative process and provide Department of Homeland Security (DHS) greater clarity and visibility to possible nefarious activity and connections by providing an additional tool set whoch analysts and investigators may use to better analyze and investigate the case.
