That's a tough talk, but it is unlikely to be. I have been in USA few months ago. There were 2 (two) people processing ESTA queue despite having like 10 booths in there, it took me almost 2 hours to get through it.
Now they want to scrutinize social media? Who is going to do that?

CBP’s proposal is here.

They’re asking for information from foreign tourists that not even a security clearance applicant would be required to provide.
