Social Media Passwords Shouldn’t Be a Condition of Entry to the U.S.

While the Obama administration did begin asking visitors in the visa waiver program for their social media account names — over the objection of the ACLU and other civil rights groups — it was voluntary, and it did not include account passwords. (The visa waiver program lets people from select countries, mainly in Europe, visit the U.S. without a visa.) Kelly’s proposal would go much further — and be mandatory.
