(article link at the end of the comment)

weeks before going to the USA they exchanged tweets about the USA trip, talking in typical british slang, using ‚destroy‘ as synonim of ‚party‘.
Nothing strange, but when they arrived in the US the border DHS people cuffed them, and detained them for 12 hr.
the day after they were sent back to the UK.
Explanations? The DHS folks says „you really f***ed this up, boy“ the alarm was triggered by a tweet the USA secret services intercepted weeks ago.
Since when does the USA government have the right to spy on european citizens communications?
Also it happened via twitter.
I imagine what a mess with facebook users (Facebook, i think, is the biggest enemy of the privacy)..
