申請美國簽證或需先提交社交媒體記錄
The Trump administration has said it wants to start collecting the social media history of nearly everyone seeking a visa to enter the US.
特朗普政府表示，希望開始收集幾乎每個申請美國簽證進入美國的人的社交媒體歷史。
The proposal, which comes from the state department, would require most visa applicants to give details of their Facebook and Twitter accounts.
來自國家部門的這項提案將要求大多數(shù)簽證申請人提供其臉書和推特賬戶的詳細信息。
They would have to disclose all social media identities used in the past five years.
他們必須提供過去五年中使用的所有社交媒體身份。
About 14.7 million people a year would be affected by the proposals.
這些提議會影響每年大約1470萬人。
The information would be used to identify and vet those seeking both immigrant and non-immigrant visas.
這些信息將用于識別和審查那些尋求移民和非移民簽證的人。
Applicants would also be asked for five years of their telephone numbers, email addresses and travel history. They would be required to say if they had ever been deported from a country, or if any relatives had been involved in terrorist activity.
申請人還需要過去五年中使用的電話號碼，電子郵件地址和旅行記錄。他們需要說出他們是否曾經(jīng)被驅(qū)逐出國，或者是否有親屬參與過恐怖主義活動。
The proposal would not affect citizens from countries to which the US grants visa-free travel status - among them the UK, Canada, France and Germany. However, citizens from non-exempt countries like India, China and Mexico could be embroiled if they visit the US for work or a holiday.
該提案不會影響美國給予免簽證旅行身份的國家的公民 - 其中包括英國，加拿大，法國和德國。然而，來自印度，中國和墨西哥等非豁免國家的公民如果訪問美國工作或度假，可能會受到影響。
Officials defended the proposal by saying it would help to identify potential extremists.
官員們辯稱，這將有助于確定潛在的極端主義分子。
The social media platforms covered in the proposal include US-based entities such as Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit and YouTube. However, the New York Times reports that overseas platforms such as China’s Sina Weibo and Russia’s VK social network would also be included.
該提案涵蓋的社交媒體平臺包括美國公司如Instagram，LinkedIn，Reddit和YouTube。然而，《紐約時報》報道稱，中國的新浪微博和俄羅斯的VK社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)等海外平臺也將包括在內(nèi)。
