A spokesperson for the internet privacy group Access Now told Politico the group feared that the choice to hand over social media information was not really a choice at all, and that the program could act as an opaque entry point for more exacting probes.

互联网隐私团体“正在访问”的发言人告诉政客网，他们担心民众实际上并没有选择是否向政府提供社交媒体信息的权利，而该计划只是开始更加严格的监控的幌子罢了。

"The process to enter the US is confusing, and it's likely that most visitors will fill out the card completely rather than risk additional questions from intimidating, uniformed officers the same officers who will decide which of your jokes are funny and which ones make you a security risk", explained Nathan White of Access Now.

“正在访问”的内森•怀特解释说：“入境流程让人倍感困惑，大多数游客更愿意把整个表完整填完，而非回答海关人员的附加问题。这些身着制服的海关人员令人生畏，他们会决定你的玩笑是风趣还是危险。”

The US government approves around 10m visa applications a year and had 77.5 million foreign visitors in 2015. Collecting social media accounts for all visitors could produce one of the largest government-controlled databases of its kind almost overnight.

美国政府每年大约要通过1000万个签证申请，2015年，共7750万外国游客赴美旅行。美国政府如果收集所有游客的社交媒体账号，就能在一夜之间建立起由政府控制的数据库，其规模会是同类数据库中最大的之一。
