America wants five years of your social media before you visit. I followed it to Five Eyes, a 1946 alliance kept secret for 64 years.

Five years of your social media just to visit the US on an ESTA, and 50,922 phone searches at the border in a single year with no suspicion needed. Part 1 of my Five Eyes series: who else gets to see it?
