I think almost all countries do this if your name is on a list (as this person's is). It's the nature of the lists and what gets your name added to them that varies from country to country.

Visiting another country is a privilege, not a right.
This is a US citizen, so that’s a moot point
That, whatever it means, cannot mean losses of personal rights.
It means you aren't entitled to visit a foreign country. You aren't entitled to them letting you in.
Of course in a perfect world we all trust each other and have open borders, but that's a privilege we have to work for. I'm European and enjoy the open borders, but also am well aware that such a situation is not a given.
Cannot mean loss of personal rights, sure. Showing up at a border and being required to give up personal rights isn't ok.
But many people in this thread are writing as if they actually believe they have a right to go anywhere, and that simply isn't the case. It's the kind of thing you need live in a strong passport country to believe.
Most countries disagree?

Rights are universal, whether a state cares about them or not.
Some might even say these are natural rights.
