There is no safe way to take action to delete your accounts without risking being denied entry to the US for having done so, unless you simply do not attempt to enter the US between when you delete your accounts and when the deadline for reporting those accounts expires. I’m assuming that people will, regardless, try to enter the US - after deleting their accounts, before the reporting period expires. If they have not taken these steps, they will be at risk of being compelled to divulge passwords and/or having their data inspected through a friend’s account. It’s too late to take the obvious best step, which was to delete all social media accounts immediately upon the announcement. All I can offer is steps that allow others^ to protect their privacy without having to intentionally withhold their passwords. If they truly care and consider you criminal, they will get an international warrant and retrieve the passwords. They may or may not detain or eject you, but at least you will have told the truth and never misled them, which counts for a great deal if the law becomes involved. ^ HN visitors are frequently quite obsessed with maintaining the privacy of their data, even when they voluntarily posted it to the Internet. I offer no criticism of this choice, but instead offer steps that they can take to exercise their desire for privacy without having to lie at a border crossing.
