Submitting your past 5 years' social media to enter the U.S. as a tourist is only a small part of the proposed upcoming requirements.
You'll also need to give your DNA (!) among many other new requirements.
All the additional info you'll need to give as a tourist eligible for ESTA):
- All social media accounts from the last 5 years
- All your biometrics: face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris
- All your phone numbers from the last 5 years
- All your email addresses from the last 10 years
- IP addresses and metadata from your submitted photos
- Names of your family members (parents, spouse, siblings, children)
- All your family members' phone numbers from the last 5 years
- Your family members' dates of birth
- Your family members' places of birth
- Your family members' residencies
- All your business phone numbers from the last 5 years
- All your business email addresses from the last 10 years
If you do need a visa (i.e. non ESTA), I imagine the requirements are going to be far more drastic.
This is straight from the Department of Homeland Security documentation which you can find here:
Conclusion: If you are white from a Trump preferred country, or a foreign megadonor, provide your name and skip the above. If you are not white, or are from a Trump designated sheethole country, you can provide the data (it will not be reviewed), but you will not be allowed entry.
