US plan requires visitors to provide social media information from last 5 years

proposed changes to the visa waiver application include making provision of social media history mandatory and adding “high value data elements,” including the person’s phone numbers and email addresses over the prior five years, plus close family members’ names and birth dates, along with their birthplaces, residences and phone numbers over the prior five years.

would that include farcaster too? ;) haha

Thinking this somewhat also hooks in with ‘Becoming Illegible’, maybe we’ve been oversharing the past 5 years, willingly making ourselves hyper-legible online through social media, crafting detailed digital identities. Becoming illegible might be a liberating act, freeing the self from the pressure to be consistently legible, branded, and predictable. In the time of AI becoming illegible may be the most human thing you can do.
