Trump plan for World Cup tourists to reveal social media activity described as ‘chilling’

• UK tourists would be among those affected by US policy

• Unacceptable' and chilling', says European fan group

A plan to require supporters travelling to the United States for the World Cup to disclose information about their social media accounts has been described as profoundly unacceptable".

Tourists from 42 countries, including the UK, which use the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (Esta) as part of the visa waiver programme would be obliged to provide information about accounts they have held in the last five years in their applications. Previously it had been optional to provide the information.
