Chill bro, we didn't need another reason not to visit. We got it.

🤦🏻‍♀️ What about the people who don't use social media? Or have used social media for less than 5 years?

Or people who disclose a suspiciously wholesome 5 years of social media use? Or use social media platforms that allow backdated posts - how well are those going to be scrutinised?

Why am I even asking? This is all so stupid. People only want to travel to places where they won't be immediately grilled on what they think of the dictator. (...Out of curiosity, what's the process like for North Korea? Strictly for comparison.)

Dear Trump administration... I've already decided never to visit the US, you don't have to sell it to me.

Yet another reason to avoid the US as a tourist. Looks like hotels and airlines did not bribe Trump sufficiently.

None of you better come here. I'm not saying this because I don't want you here, I'm saying it because we are literally on fire right now. We have a lot of finding out to do.

The US are really working hard to get prohibition, 30's great depression, and McCarthyism all at once.

Wow. Even China doesn't do that.

edit Might be that they don't need to get it from you

People are already boycotting the us, they don't need another reason.

"In addition to social media histories, Customs and Border Protection would add other new data collection fields, including email addresses and telephone numbers used in the last five years, as well as the addresses and names of family members, the notice reads."

Wtf I was planning to visit NYC but this is crazy man.

More realistically: tourists will just stop coming here.

Maybe that's the intent?

This should be in Not the Onion. This is so farcical.

I don't know why anyone is still visiting the Untied States but I hope this deters them

Wow. Next year's World Cup is going to be either the biggest debacle, or played to empty stadiums (in the USA anyway). What a complete and utter fuck up.

Lol - looks like my old man is never getting to the US. He posts at least 1 meme a day on Facebook that comedically shits on Trump. It's become something of an obsession.

Meanwhile, my brother-in-law is hoping to get to Boston with my nephew to watch Scotland play at the world cup. He's been frantically un-liking dad's posts and deleting his own for days.

I've been sending emails to hotel companies and urging them to oppose this. I urge you to contact your congresspeople and also companies in the travel, hospitality and tourism industry and demand they oppose this policy and more broadly ask them to stand up to Trump because he's causing people to rightfully boycott the US.

Also to everyone who is boycotting the US thank you so so much, I'm really grateful and as are so many Americans who also hate what the Trump regime is doing. The more people who boycott the more pressure it will put on companies to finally stand up against the Trump regime.

You think it's going to stop there? US citizens will soon have to do the same, or be on the no fly list.

Ok so if I have to travel to the US for work, I will now require my employer to give me a burner phone with a burner number.

How will they prove that I have any social media history?

Yea yea got it, US geography is all nice and that but I am not trying to visit there until there is zero chance of getting detained by ICE or border control "because of reasons".

It's like getting banned from smacking my own balls with a hammer.

Oh noes!

This is our daily reminder that the Republican party has revoked the US Constitution in its entirety.

We have already postponed our Disney trip until the cheeto is gone.

I am prepared to go to Europe or Japan instead though if America can't figure its issues out.

I don't even remember all the reddit account I had in the previous 5 years

No thanks

FIFA world cup is going to be a shit show.

Another reason to never set foot in the fascist states of dumberikkka ever again!!

Or, and hear me out on this, he can fuck right off.

Then again I'm not the target for this type of tyrannical despotism because there's absolutely no chance I'd ever willingly visit that place.

How on earth can the people who voted for this piece of shit not see him for the coward that he is?

I feel sorry for anyone who has to go for work; I imagine tourists will choose another place to go.

Soon it will be easier to visit North Korea than the USA, which I suspect is the plan.

I guess I'm going have to get some sort of Social Media account that I don't currently use, and keep up with fake postings, just so I have something to show the Redhats when they stop my on the street and say "Ihre papiere, bitte!"

What makes them think that I even have a 5 year old account on any social media platform?

"Sorry, you can't enter the US unless you have a social media account"
