US visitors may have to reveal social media passwords to enter country
How many people here would surrender their social media passwords to visit any foreign country? Or, IOW, what country's low-level bureaucrats would you trust with the keys to your on-line life?
You can count me out.
US Department of Homeland Security Secretary 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?" he told the House Committee on Homeland Security on Tuesday. "If they don't want to cooperate, then you don't come in."
You can count me out.
