When I read that the US had proposed making ESTA visitors hand over five years of their social media, I asked myself, would I even want to go there now? Then I went looking at where all that information ends up. Part 1 of my Five Eyes series.

No, absolutely not the scariest and likely never will be… But I gotta wonder, what if someone really doesn’t use any social media and then when visiting they get stopped and they got nothing to show? I feel like they’re gonna get accused of “hiding” and denied entry…
And yet here we are. I never had a social media account, been here longer than the internet and always thought Facebook stupid af. Now what?

Never left the EU, living in the Nordics. Here you could dance naked on the border road/bridge and no one would blink an eye. But that does sound like how it has looked like in the TV…
Now that I thought about this a bit more, freshly made empty social media profiles would be even more suspicious… Huh. Would the person need to make full-on fake profiles long before the actual trip? I know I plan my travels early, but never ever have had to add a date in calendar for making the decoy social media profiles.
