US Visitors May Have to Reveal Social Media Passwords to Enter Country

• bootload 10y ago
  "John Kelly has informed Congress that the DHS is considering requiring refugees and visa applicants from seven Muslim-majority nations to hand over their social media credentials from Facebook and other sites as part of a security check. "We want to get on their social media, with passwords: What do you do, what do you say?"" Given the current US climate, if this is the case, skip the US and go to Canada. How much US business will shift to Canada?

    Not much considering that some people are already made unlock their phones when entering Canada.

      @gukov really? I purposely avoid electronics going overseas to stop this kind of abuse.

  Aren't the EFF currently trying to persuade the courts that violating the TOS should not be a crime? What's the situation if a border agent asks you to commit a crime?
