- Foreigners who are allowed to come to the United States without a visa could soon be required to submit information about their social media, email accounts and extensive family history to the Department of Homeland Security before being approved for travel.
- CBP would start requesting a list of other information, including telephone numbers the person has used over the past five years or email addresses used over the past decade.
- also, metadata from electronically submitted photos, as well as extensive information from the applicant's family members, including their places of birth and their telephone numbers.
The US seems to be moving closer to Orwell's "1984."
