You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification.

Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.

They need you more than you need them.
Force them to work for your rights.
Do not comply.

Yeah, I don't think this is going to exactly help us recover from the massive drop in #tourism since his term started.

#Trump Wants People to Submit DNA Just to Get a #TouristVisa

Want to visit the USA? CBP will make you submit your social media history—and your family history & #DNA too.

#SocialMedia would become a “mandatory data element” , and all applicants would be required to submit a social media history going back five years.

Trump Wants People to Submit DNA Just to Get a Tourist Visa

Apparently five years of someone’s social media history isn’t enough.
