This is ridiculous! Don't make that decision for us without asking first. Far far easier just to avoid travel to the US. The world is huge and there are far better places to visit

Why tho?
Travel to that country is getting more painful day by day. You need to give them all social media handles you've used in the last 5 years (which I don't fully remember/forgot) and possibly even more. Other countries with an eVisa system just ask you for your passport number and a fee.
Fuck it, I'll go somewhere where I don't need that BS, like Austria, which I literally have a train ride away (or I can take a walk there).
Social media handles? Really?
Right at the moment when the US has become the most unappealing place to visit as a European...
If it was on demand after you scan then the information gets sent that should be fine. Just providing the entire database at once is dumb.
I don't think so.
Here in Slovakia, the EU is viewed very favourably for a reason. We can work freely in whichever EEA country we want, take a walk to neighboring countries without any border checks or just freight forward a laptop that doesn't ship here to Wolfsthal and pick it up there. That's the beauty of it.
Also our Brussels overlords didn't outsource age checks to external companies, unlike the rest of the first world.
Also if the Eurofunds money isn't misplaced to serve high-ranking politicians only, some amazing things can be achieved with it.
I wonder which politician is getting a fat check under the table from us corps
Soooo can we start a petition or something?
Well, everything the US gets in their hands will probably be stored forever. EU can't be serious.
wait, does this mean we no longer have to have a visa to live/work in the EU? because that would be super peak
In 2022, the US government announced that it would require access to biometric databases of countries if they wish to keep visa exemption for their citizens travelling to the US, including European Union (EU) Member States.
No, fuck you it's only for the Europeans (white straight, cis, neurotypical, from a middle class proletariat position higher) probably.
Is this only a concern if I travel to the US? Or is it enough to just have EDR.
