Tourists from dozens of countries including the UK could be asked to provide a five-year social media history as a condition of entry to the United States, under a new proposal unveiled by American officials.

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

it's hard to prove a negative. I've only ever used social media under a nym. Never had a facebook account, nor instagram, x/twitter and others have only used nyms. I can see that I'm going to be spending a lot of time in secondary screening lines in the future...
