Another thing - this could cause foreign countries to retaliate by doing the same to Americans traveling abroad. This could result in danger to US citizens if they criticize Israel or Chinese leaders, or other leaders where criticism of, say the monarch, is criminalized like in Thailand and Saudi Arabia.

Remember - they literally sawed Jamal Khashoggi apart for criticizing Saudi royalty and society. Who's to say they wouldn't arrest a US citizen upon entry to, say, Thailand upon review of critical social media posts.
