Yep, they're also proposing to make it so that you cannot get ESTA without a smartphone. They'll get rid of the functionality on the current website and require you to use ESTA Mobile.
Don't have a smartphone? Well, the answer will apparently be "tough luck, you can't come to the US through ESTA."

All visa applicants have had to give up social media handles since Trump 1 (something with the Biden admin pointedly did not try to change). So Russians already do.
This new policy would extend that to people who don’t need visas to come here for tourism purposes (“Visa Waiver Program” countries).

Odd that Russia is not on this list of extra burdensome restrictions.
