If this comes to pass I'll probably not do that anymore.
Can't wait to get turned away at the border when flying there in a few months for a new job for liking something years ago.
- Give them your user names and (when possible) the government subpoenas the companies?
- Give them your user names and they just see what's publicly available?
- Require you to give them your passwords?
- Hook your phone up to some device that steals data on the device?
- Something else?
Does anyone know? I'm also interested in the case where you legitimately don't have social media. Does anyone know what happens then? I understand that can look suspicious, but what if you had to travel to the US unexpectedly? You can't go back in time and build 5 years of social media so you don't look suspicious. (on principle, I wouldn't do this anyway.)
[edit]
And what if your social media is Chinese and private? They just can't do anything then.
When every service I use has its own email address, that makes it a pain for me to travel and be truthful on the form. I wonder how their AI deals sarcasm: Entry denied, funny-boy!
Regular people give me weird looks when I claim not to use social media.

My parents live in the US, they are aware (and accept) this would be a reason I wouldn't be able to visit them and instead we'd have to meet somewhere else.
