U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has introduced a proposal that would modify the agency’s current approach to reviewing social media information of international travelers entering the United States. This proposed change represents a shift in the protocols used for vetting individuals as part of border security measures.

Under the proposed rule, international visitors to the U.S. may experience an increased level of scrutiny regarding their social media activity as a component of their entry screening. The adjustment aligns with broader travel security protocols related to the screening of travelers arriving from abroad.
