> I mean, everything is already accessible on the internet (to the extent I want it to be), and accessible by merely a Google search of my name (which is written on my passport), so anyone (not just Homeland Security) could easily collect this info anyways
The notion that only the info you want accessible under your name is actually accessible under your name seems a bit naive, also you may need to disclose 'aliases' as well, which means account on which you on purpose don't use your real name, probably because you want to express your opinions a bit more freely.

DHS agents cherry-picking people's social media posts to deny them entry does not seem overblown to me.
I think the only effective solution to this is for the EU to impose similarly annoying travel restrictions on American citizens and for companies to stop going to conferences etc. in the U.S.since they'll notice once big business complains.
