US to Demand Tourists' Social Media Passwords

The US government plans to force more foreign visitors to disclose their social media profiles. Officials say this is part of a "continuous vetting" process for immigration. The new policy would require tourists and other travelers to hand over their social media handles, usernames, or possibly even passwords. This would allow US authorities to examine their online activity. The measure is the latest expansion of security checks under the Trump administration. It specifically targets individuals born outside the United States, including both short-term visitors and those seeking permanent residency. The move aims to identify potential security threats by screening online behavior. Critics argue it raises significant privacy concerns and could discourage tourism.
