I mean, really, are people going to provide that info? "Yeah, I'm DickFitzwell on Tinder. Look me up. Also, PhilButz on Grinder and LovesKittens221 on Snapchat."
Actually, questions like that are already asked as part f the ESTA application and I-94W forms:

Do you seek to engage or have you ever engaged in terrorist activities, espionage, sabotage or genocide?
Have you ever been or are you now involved in espionage or sabotage; or in terrorist activities; or genocide or between 1933 and 1945 were involved, in any way, in persecutions associated with Nazi Germany or its allies?
