华盛顿，2月13日（路透社） – 两名民主党参议员周五敦促特朗普政府放弃一项要求数百万外国游客提供过去五年使用过的社交媒体账号的提案。
美国海关与边境保护局（CBP）提出的这项拟议政策要求签证豁免计划国家的旅行者提交社交媒体数据。

参议员埃德·马基和罗恩·怀登表示：”通过要求旅行者披露其个人社交媒体信息，CBP将迫使那些只是想来美国探亲、与美国公司开展业务或参加如即将举行的世界杯等活动的人接受全面的数字监控。”

“毫无疑问，如果英国、法国或澳大利亚等国对美国游客实施类似政策，许多美国人会感到愤怒。”
美国国土安全部未立即置评。该部门去年12月曾表示，这项提案最早可能于本月生效。
此前，代表美国旅游和观光业的一个组织警告称，该提案可能对访美产生”寒蝉效应”。美国旅游协会表示：”如果我们错误实施这项政策，数百万游客可能会将他们的业务和数十亿美元的消费转移到其他地方，这只会削弱美国的实力。”

自2019年起，移民和非移民签证申请人就被要求分享此类信息。
华盛顿已采取措施加强对外国人的审查，这源于特朗普2025年1月发布的一项行政命令，该命令要求对美国访客进行”最大限度的审查和筛选”。
签证豁免计划允许来自42个国家（主要是欧洲国家）的旅行者免签入境美国，停留时间最长90天。他们必须填写电子旅行授权系统（ESTA）表格，根据此次变更，该表格将要求提供社交媒体账号。
美国正考虑要求提供过去10年使用过的所有电子邮件地址，以及父母、兄弟姐妹、子女和配偶的姓名、出生日期、住所和出生地。
美国国务院去年12月表示，要求所有H-1B签证申请人及其家属将其所有社交媒体资料的隐私设置调整为”公开”，以便该部门审查申请人的社交媒体帖子。

WASHINGTON, Feb 13 (Reuters) – Two Democratic senators urged the Trump administration on Friday to abandon a proposal to require millions of foreign visitors to provide social media handles used over the past five years.
The proposed policy from U.S. Customs and Border Protection would require travelers from countries in the visa waiver program to submit the social media data.

“By requiring travelers to disclose their personal social media information, CBP will force people who simply want to visit family in the United States, conduct business with U.S. companies, or attend events such as the upcoming World Cup to submit to sweeping digital surveillance,” said Senators Ed Markey and Ron Wyden.

“No doubt many Americans would be outraged if countries such as Great Britain, France, or Australia imposed a similar policy on American tourists.”
The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately comment. In December, the department said the proposal could take effect as early as this month.
Earlier, a group representing the U.S. travel and tourism industry warned the proposal could have a “chilling effect” on visits to the United States. “If we get this policy wrong, millions of travelers could take their business and the billions of dollars they spend elsewhere, only making America weaker,” the U.S. Travel Association said.

Applicants for immigrant and non-immigrant visas have been required to share that information since 2019.
Washington has taken steps to tighten vetting of foreigners, stemming from a Trump executive order issued in January 2025 calling for visitors to the U.S. to be “vetted and screened to the maximum degree.”
The visa waiver program allows travelers from 42 countries, mostly in Europe, to visit the U.S. for up to 90 days without a visa. They must complete an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) form, which under the change would require social media handles.
The U.S. is considering requiring all email addresses used over the last 10 years and names, birth dates, residences and birthplaces of parents, siblings, children and spouses.
The U.S. State Department in December said it was requiring all H-1B applicants and their dependents to adjust the privacy settings on all of their social media profiles to “public” in order for the department to review social media posts by applicants.
