Trump plan for World Cup tourists to reveal social media activity described as ‘chilling’
NegativeSports
- A new policy proposed by the Trump administration will require World Cup tourists, including those from the UK, to disclose their social media accounts as part of the visa waiver process. This marks a shift from the previous optional disclosure, raising concerns among fans and human rights advocates who deem it 'profoundly unacceptable.'
- The requirement for social media disclosure is seen as a significant intrusion into personal privacy, potentially deterring international visitors from attending the World Cup in the United States. This move has sparked backlash from European fan groups and civil liberties organizations.
- This development reflects broader concerns regarding human rights and privacy in the context of major international events like the World Cup. Human rights organizations have previously urged FIFA to address issues related to immigration and the rights of local communities, highlighting the ongoing tension between security measures and individual freedoms.
