The US is forcing its tourists to give away a list of all their social media accounts and all their email accounts. If you're a foreign journalist writing pseudonymously for your safety, you must now share that information with the US government to enter the country. This isn't quite on the level of forcing people to install malware on their phone yet, but give it a couple years.

I assume you're referring to this form: https://www.axistravel.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/ONL...

Regarding email address, it's under "contact information" same as "home address". What's the problem?

Regarding social media, it says "optional", so...?

I was referring to "give away a list of all their social media accounts and all their email accounts", not "If you ... you must now share that information". Your references make no mention of the former.
