are they actively enforcing the 'turn over your social media accounts' thing right now? I have multi friends and family who came to visit me in the states recently and nobody mentioned that.

As a Brit, I don't think you will encounter any difficulty entering United States.

Nope, they are not actively enforcing this.

No they are not, his post seems to be political rather than factual.

I've got no beef with US immigration other than hearing repeated horror stories over the years from moderately reputable sources.
