Applying for an ESTA and they want my social media information? WTF?

[MrsPinkCock]

WIBU to decline to disclose it or is this going to mean my ESTA gets rejected?

I renew my ESTA every two years, have done since 2012. This is the first time I’ve been asked.

Supposed to be travelling in two weeks so no time for a visa if it’s rejected...

just dont give it, i didnt and my esta was approved

Do you have to add it? I filled out mine last year and it was optional then.

I didn’t add mine.

It’s optional, just don’t give the info if you don’t want to.

They’ve been asking for this since 2016.

wtf why?

Social media is an established way of tracking criminal activity. So no surprise they’re asking for it.

I did an esta recently and I’m pretty sure the social media section had optional next to it?

I just clicked no. It was approved straight away. I logged out, logged in ant it was approved.

It’s optional. I left it blank and it was fine.

You don't have to put it in. Not everyone has social media.

It’s optional just leave it and you will be fine
