Word's getting around that Homeland Security might start asking foreign visitors to hand over their social media history before entering the country. This isn't just about travel hassles—it's a bigger conversation about digital privacy in an era where governments want more data visibility.



For those of us in crypto and Web3, this hits different. We've been championing self-custody and data sovereignty for years. Now imagine border agents scrolling through your Twitter threads or Discord chats. What happens when decentralized identity meets centralized scrutiny?

The tension between national security measures and personal privacy keeps escalating. As blockchain advocates, we're watching these moves closely—because today's travel policies could set precedents for tomorrow's digital identity frameworks.

ngl this is really the ultimate confrontation between freedom and security... The moment border control checks your Twitter, you realize why Web3 is so important.

Border inspection is checking my Twitter records? Then I might as well not go. Self-custody is exactly for this purpose.

It's really beginning now—border checks social media records... It feels like the road to self-sovereignty still has a long way to go.
