When I last visited the US some years ago, I had to submit a link to my Facebook profile and such. How exactly will this differ? What do they classify as "social media history" and how would I realistically provide 5 years worth of that to them?
Regardless, I had a few more places in the US I had wanted to experience, but I'll easily pass if something like this is in play.
That could possibly result in 'empty' soccer stadiums next year, because I fear that many foreign fans will be baned due to some 'critical' comment in social media about USA or Israel. The number of foreign tourists will drop even lower.

This is the more egregious thing in my view. I'm not sure what I'd do if a family member threw me under the bus like that, but I know I'd be absolutely furious for a very long time.
Willingly giving your own information is one thing, but giving someone else's information (in the absence of them providing informed consent) is unforgivable.
