It’s just the same as EU citizens getting and ESTA to travel to (or transit) the US

I was thinking the same.

The problem is that journalism is very difficult to do because people are now used to free news, so they have to do these click and bait patterns that really suck and the only thing they do is generate hate.

To the downvoters: Give a different opinion if you don't agree. Like it or not, it is the truth. My sister is a journalist.

"Like EU citizens applying for ESTA when visiting the US, citizens of the United States will also have to fill an online form and pay a nominal fee when visiting Europe."

Not saying such restrictions should be encouraged, but the same has been needed to visit the US for a long time.

Europe, however , lets its citizens re-enter a border using automated password gates without the need for a "Global Entry" subscription (in the US, that's a product you pay for to be face-scanned and skip immigration lines when coming back home.)

These papers (edit: US and EU versions) weren’t needed before but are going to be needed soon. Going backwards. And no one cares.

Honest question, do you complain that USA implemented this same type program in 2008/2009? Or do you just care now because this affects US travelers?

In Germany younger people are more willing to pay for journalism. FAZ (a better paper) hires new journalist for example.

I like the fact that there is finally reciprocity with the US citizen having to experience the same shitty rules as when we travel there.

But I'm a little bit sad that we will impose the same thing to other visa free travelers. First these countries will probably want to do that also in reciprocity. And secondly it is another marker of the slow decay of public liberties in Europe and the raise of the dictatorial surveillance society.

I mean both ways. US implemented it first, Europe implemented it in return. Idiotic and unnecessary and political and, apparently, unavoidable now.

While I don't disagree about the state of journalism, you can only fit so much information in the headline, and the similarity to what visitors to the US have to do is called out in the article. The headline itself in this case seems like a fair and accurate summary of the story.
