CBP may require social media history for some visa waiver travelers
The measure would apply to visitors permitted to enter the US for up to 90 days without a visa, provided they obtain electronic travel authorization.
In addition to social media accounts, CBP said applicants would need to provide extensive personal information, including email addresses from the past decade and details about their parents, spouses, siblings, and children, such as names, birth dates, birthplaces, and places of residence.
CBP will open a 60-day public comment period on the proposal. The agency noted that this plan builds on earlier government measures that required social media checks for certain visa categories, including H-1B skilled workers and student and scholar visa applicants.
