Trump Administration May Demand Social Media Passwords From Foreign Travelers (racist, deported)

[18Montclair]

I would be humiliated and furious as a US citizen if I had to give something so personal to a foreign govt.

This is shameful.

Then boycott the country & go somewhere else. If you choose to migrate to another country then you have to follow the rules. If you cant then there are other countries with good opportunities & sensitive people. We are horrible, racist people who dont put people's feelings & social media above homeland security. You can find plenty of other nations in the world where they will respect an immigrant's privacy & feelings as they are so much more important than life of their own people. Saudi is a great example:

Saudi Arabia deported 39,000 Pakistanis in last four months: report - World - DAWN.COM

Being a fan of big guv, I'm suprised the o.p. isn't championing this policy proposal. Maybe if it required existing US citizens to provide personal passwords to their local party headquarters, they'd be more supportive?

Then why dont you move to Saudi Arabia since you love their tough, no nonsense approach?

This is the United States, NOT Saudi Arabia.

I agree, theluckygal needs to quit the pretense.

I thought they were already doing that to some foreigners trying to enter the USA.

Social Media by its very nature is not private. The government can and will demand this information directly from the source if they want it badly enough (FB et al), you think the previous administration didn't do this kind of stuff?
