Because of Facebook posts: Teenage from Hessen - Germany, can not enter US

Actually, the 19-year-old girl wants to visit only their second cousin in the US, even really relax and spend four months in another country. So she flies toward Cleveland, where their relatives lives - but she never gets to see. At the passport control during transfers at the airport in Philadelphia, the teenager from Hesse, Germany city, is stopped, she can not enter so easily in the United States. The bizarre reason she finds only four hours later.

First, the student is placed in a separate waiting area, writes the "Frankfurter Rundschau". Smartphone and passport have to give to authorities, and their luggage was searched insistently. Even fingerprints she must submit, moreover, she was be photographed. Still she don't know what's going on  - until the officer who she had previously prevented from entries, finally comes back. In her hand the officer holds the phone of the 19-year-olds girl. What follows? A lot of questions.

"Do you have news in your phone, where is that your cousin, has offered you to take care of the neighbours' children, and that you told her that you have a valid driver's license and thus the children can go to school?" These detailed questions let only one suspect: The official read the Facebook messages that had previously replaced the teenage me her second cousin. Actually, it had gone into the conversation just that the 19-year-old watch from time to time on said young and the children could go to school. But it is designed her if she wanted to work in the United States in secret.

The young girl from Hessen has a tourist visa for the United States, after all, she wanted to make just a long vacation. But because of Facebook messages is assumed her that she wanted to work in reality and have it concealed the visa application - thus declared the official responsible for the visa - to be invalid, the 19-year-old girl may not enter the United States and must be returned immediately and fly back to Germany. Both the parents of the teenager and the relatives in Cleveland have now taken legal action because of the incident in which private Facebook messages have been read, also raises data protection issues.
