For a vacation in the USA, people from Europe have so far not had to reveal too much. This could soon change if it's up to US border control.

According to the document, the CPB also plans to request numerous additional personal data in the ESTA application. This includes all – including professional – phone numbers and email addresses used in the past five or ten years, names and phone numbers of close family members, as well as their birth dates and places. Biometric data is also included.

If they suspect the list might be incomplete, they will start the proper investigation. It’s kind of the whole reason
No thx, I’ll have some pasta or souvlaki instead of a hamburger.
Nowadays I prefer to traveling to North Corea, which has less conditions, than to the USA.
As if I needed any more reasons to never set foot in that wannabe dictatorship.
Muricans, fix your shit.
I traveled to California from Europe this last July. The amount of information you have to give is absurd, and then the security at the airport didn’t check shit. Security guy even asked for my fingerprints, but then looked at the length of the line and just let me through without giving any.
Nudging toward desensitization so that the US gov can ask for citizens media accounts. Hey fuckers! Look at my secret cat pictures!
Liberties for me but for thee.
This will hurt US tourism and social media companies more than anyone.
Oh no, lots of companies rely on the ESTA as well. Good luck going to the US on business trips.
What are the chances that not having a social media account is treated as super suspicious?
Depends on the mood of the border agent, they will just find any excuse in my experience
World’s Cup is going to be a shitshow.

You mean, World Socker Federation Peace Prise Holder Fat Orange Prick
I still have the hope FIFA is going to kick the US out (most likely not to happen) or Mexico and Canda step away in hopes they hurt FIFA

How is FIFA going to kick the host of the World Cup? After literally creating a Peace Prize specifically to give it to Trump?
Hence why I said likely not to happen. But I still hold a sliver of hope
Never been to a game, always wanted to go Had planned to go since the cup was announced. Decided by March or April it was not only going to be unsafe due to potential ICE raids, trump being highly visible involved potentially enticing an attack, to say nothing of the price…forget about it, wont go.
Ve have discovered your collection of Hillary for president memes. Ze crime for this is death. Welcome to America.
