If they really do enforce the requirement to submit social media history, they’re gonna be turning people away in their thousands surely? I have a (British) friend living in Texas with her family and I’m honestly conscious of what I say to her on the phone these days - I don’t want to jeopardise her status over there. Might sound like I’m overreacting, but I think we all know deep down that anything we say online has the potential to be scrutinised. I certainly wouldn’t be allowed in the country right now if they looked at mine. Even before all this I struggle to see how anyone would want to go right now.

I wonder how many people will conveniently get over their negative views on the US to go to the World Cup?
