Would you be willing to share your five-year social media history to travel to the US?

The US government is considering a proposal to require tourists from visa waiver countries like the UK to submit five years of social media history when applying for entry through the ESTA system.

The move is part of broader efforts by the Trump administration to tighten border security, citing national safety.

Critics argue this could harm digital rights and deter tourism, while supporters say it helps prevent dangerous individuals from entering.

The proposal also includes collecting five years of phone numbers and 10 years of email history.

Privacy advocates warn it could lead to civil liberties violations and slower processing times for travellers.
