I realize this is exceptional but I've spoken to a few Canadian friends who aren't bothering to visit the USA anymore. Avid travellers and hikes a lot of them are going to spend more time within their country and Europe during this presidency.
The simple idea that we might have to give our social media passwords is revolting more than a few... this story just adds to this feeling.

I realize I might need to go to US, e.g. for business, and that's fine. But for sure the random weekend hiking in the Adirondacks is now way less likely to happen.
- 49para 10y agoDo they even need your social media passwords ? The companies like FB give up your data freely anyway. That's assuming the NSA doesn't already have it anyway.
- kahnpro 10y agoAs a Canadian, I absolutely actively avoid flights connecting through the US even if it's a few hundred cheaper. Not subjecting myself to the horror of US customs just to fly to Europe.
