Me too. I’m going to wait a few more years before I visit again.

I‘m also careful with what I say online. US CBP tracks what people post online, and has been known to deny entry to people for being critical critical of the current president. I don’t want to risk losing out on future opportunities in the land of the free.

I will rather choose not to visit the US for the foreseeable time, maybe never again (have been to the US more than 10 times). Freedom of speech is more important than tourist visits to the US. Well and working there was never an option for me, worker protection, universal healthcare, etc. make life much nicer.

Maybe the US will be free enough again in the future, but with its trajectory, I am not betting on it.

Just don't visit USA and you will be fine.
Not practical in many cases. I'm starting a new job soon and have to visit the US. No way am I saying no to that (way too good a job).

I'll probably just buy a decoy phone for the border.

Start setting up profiles ASAP, you want a plausible amount of history for a decoy.
How would one do that?
