Word just dropped about a regulatory shake-up that could hit travelers hard. Under a newly floated proposal, visitors from visa-exempt countries might soon face a far more invasive screening process before stepping foot in the States. We're talking full disclosure of social media accounts, email correspondence histories, and detailed family background checks—all mandatory for entry approval. This isn't just bureaucratic red tape; it's a fundamental shift in how personal data gets scrutinized at borders. For anyone in the digital asset space who frequently crosses borders for conferences or deals, this could mean exposing your entire digital footprint to government databases. The compliance burden just got real, and privacy concerns are already sparking debate across communities that value decentralization and data sovereignty.

NGL, is there really no privacy now? My Twitter wallet history is about to be exposed to the government? Quickly delete the history...

Ugh, do we have to check social media accounts again? We Web3 folks need to be more careful.
