Trump will sell this as helping to protect national security but he will doubtless also use it to help ban any who disagree with him or mock him. It is what he has consistently tried to do with media in his own country after all.

I just wonder if this forum counts as "social media"? If it does, a few of us may come across some difficulty in applying to visit should we wish
Always visit the US for long periods Omeg and yes I will be there as love the Country. Put it this way - Trump is still far more popular amongst the citizens over there than our own gutless weak leader over here with open borders. Social media - always been monitored anyway but nothing to local elections being cancelled in the UK. Is that democratic? I voted against Brexit but hey the majority decided. Perhaps the majority will decide on Reform. The majority decided on Starmer but were wrong in my view although many still love him. Not me but other views are to be respected.

PS - with Estas you can not enter the USA with a criminal record which is correct. With the UK we let in anyone including terrorists and single male illegals who commit rape on school girls ( five in the last month ). Perhaps we should have Estas on those entering the UK like the USA system including photos and finger prints. I completely agree with this from a security perspective as at the moment who knows who is entering our country.
