I sat today...reading a new US regulation (published Tuesday)....affecting 42 countries....where residents might visit the US.
Yeah, it affects Germans, and start up around mid-Feb....unless challenged in court.
Data required for the Visa Waiver Program? If you apply for the ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization).....they want your history of social media for the past five years.
Other data? Yeah, it will also be requested in the future, to include telephone numbers from the past five years, email addresses from the past ten years, and personal data of family members (I assume spouse and kids), including name, telephone number, date of birth, place of birth, and address.
What'll happen? I'll project it out....visits to the US basically halt by April of 2026....with hotels and tour companies in massive fits of anger.
The EU conducting the same 'game'? I would imagine by June....same game.
People creating fake accounts? Yeah....I could see people creating weird accounts....listing sixty-odd aliases. Creating 60-odd kids....listing fake dates of birth and places of birth.
