      I mean, who in their right mind would want to go to a country that’s going to demand access to your private devices on arrival?

      „Sorry I don’t have any social media“ – the only way they can prove this to be a false statement is to forcibly check your devices.

      Will they actually do that? Who knows, but to the casual observer the statement does conjure the image of invading device privacy.

      Yea because I want to go to a country where I have a higher chance of being shot than anywhere else in the world.

    4. giant_sloth on

      Why would you pay for travel, hotels and potentially activities in advance only to be turned around at the border because you shared a bald JD Vance meme? It’s a joke policy enacted by a joke president.

    6. MaximumScary1290 on

      I have less than zero plans to visit the US ever again anyway, so I’m good thanks.

    7. RedofPaw on

      If they check my reddit I guess I’m not getting in because I’ve called Trump a lot of mean names and it will hurt his wittle fee fees.

    8. Optimal-Leather341 on

      Meh, I can see the third world country better on the telly with a cuppa in hand.

    9. Scotsman1047 on

      Yeah, I’m not chancing going to the US and risking getting sent home on the next plane because I hurt Trump’s feelings by criticising him online.

      Maybe when he is finally out of office and this shit gets repealed I’ll think about it.

    10. coffeewalnut08 on

      The far-right loves authoritarianism whenever it’s their team and not Keir Starmer doing it. Funny how that works

    11. DrIvoPingasnik on

      No problem. US has been on our „do not travel“ list for a good while now.

      We have no business visiting a country (though beautiful, must sadly admit) ran by convicted pedophile and literal nazis.

      Instead of going for a month-long trip around US we decided to spend that money on several trips to the Europe.

      Check what I’ve said about the Wal-Mart Mussolini and I’d be fast-tracked to Guantanamo. No way I’m going anywhere near that shithole

      Tourist income is usually the most protected in any undemocratic regime, and you know when it becomes more risky to holiday in a place that the country is on the path to serious instability.

      The difference here is it is not rebels putting the tourists at risk of course, so time will tell i guess.

    14. bahumat42 on

      I mean that sucks but having his personal storm troopers stomping around the country and harassing (and killing people) is putting me off more.

    16. Connor123x on

      And trust me, he will complain about how horrible everyone is for not wanting to visit the US when their tourist numbers drop even more

    17. Heuchelei on

      I’ll link them directly to this post where I will call Trump a stupid cunt.

    18. Mr_Potato2025 on

      Yeah along with the worry that ICE will shoot me in the back as I walk around

    19. pintofendlesssummer on

      Lucky for me I have no plans now or in the future to visit USA, went Vegas once and that was enough for me.

    21. Subject-Addendum-199 on

      Trump speedrun to destroy one of the most powerful economies going well

    22. jeremybeadleshand on

      They’ve been doing this for years haven’t they? I was asked for my usernames on an ESTA waiver years ago.

    23. Antsplace on

      I’ve already been put off, not just because you will get thrown out for free speech, but also just the chance of being shot is not insignificant.

      Going to visit Canada instead.

    24. Resident-Honey8390 on

      Great job, but it Will Not Affect Me, as I Never wish to go to USA

    25. Demoliscio on

      Trump is a massive cunt.

      Done, this will make picking my next holiday destination a bit easier 😂

      I’ve been to Massachusetts for work or fun a couple of times, it was great, but no way in hell I’m flying to America while it’s doing a North Korean speedrun

    26. No_Concept_1311 on

      I imagine the risk of getting murdered because you commited the crime of not being white or even the right kind of white, or for having looked at the some scrotes in tacticool gear wrong would also put some people off.

    27. xxxxxxxxxooxxxxxxxxx on

      I had to list my social media accounts when I immigrated to the US. 

      Asking that if a tourist seems excessive though. 

      I would be really surprised if there is staff with time to go through tourists social media accounts. 

    28. Flat_Scene9920 on

      tbf Obama and Biden were both very brave for letting Brits into the US that had said nasty things about them.

    29. Endless_road on

      It is going to take decades for the USA to rebuild the goodwill they’ve lost in the last year

    30. Dull-Amphibian-5779 on

      I mean yea that doesn’t help but in the first place it was Trump being president and the governor of FL as reasons I haven’t been to the Miami music conf for nearly 10y

    31. cvslfc123 on

      As if any Brit is going to try and live and work there illegally.

      It’s ridiculous

    32. Flashy-Raspberry-131 on

      They’re welcome to look at my only social account, Reddit.

      I hope they like scrolling through years of midget porn.

    33. fukthefeed on

      Zero interest in going to such a deranged country and zero interest in American social media companies (Reddit though).

    34. UniquePariah on

      They really do seem to have dropped the „r“ from the motto „the land of the free“

    35. FredFarms on

      Great, your travel plans now hinge on a US customs agent understanding a British sense of humor

    36. SlipperyWidget on

      I visited the USA from the UK around 2008.

      It was the worst I have ever been treated both entering and leaving any country anywhere.

      God only knows what its like now.

    37. Vox_Casei on

      It’ll be a long while before the US goes on the list of countries I’m willing to visit again.

      Even if they somehow eject the tangerine twat and his cabal of cretins, the damage will be long lasting before the US is trusted like it was before.

    38. Nervous-Deal-9271 on

      No plans on going there just now, and i only have this account and a fb for messenger, but any place that does this and I’ll just disable them for the trip.

    39. DanBronze13 on

      What’s going on today, Trump says he will essentially slow down incoming tourism . Whilst China is scrapping visas for uk visitors . The world order is shifting

    41. TheFergPunk on

      How would this even work?

      Let’s say I simply say I don’t have social media even if I do. How do they prove that I do?

    42. CastleofWamdue on

      I need to up my game, I dont think I post near enough to get me banned from the US.

      Seriously if you are not getting banned from entering the USA, you are doing something wrong with your life.

    43. TheCharalampos on

      It’ll be interesting to see what happens to their industries that depend on international tourism. From what I’ve heard this year has been extremely rough but most places are still (barely) making ends meet.
