    do these morons know how easy it is to make a bogus sockpuppet acct and load it up with bogus posts and photos?

    edit: yes i know it’s not remotely actually about “national security” but rather acclimating people to the “you have zero privacy here” policy

      It also mean that if you tell them you don’t use social media you will probably get refused since they will think you’re lying. So you would have to make fake accounts lol.

      And it’s not about stopping terrorists. It’s about making people scared.

          The corporate platforms require and enforce timestamps.

          Edit: apparently not Facebook

        Announcement of Expanded Screening and Vetting for Visa Applicants MEDIA NOTE

        OFFICE OF THE SPOKESPERSON

        JUNE 18, 2025

        The State Department is committed to protecting our nation and our citizens by upholding the highest standards of national security and public safety through our visa process. A U.S. visa is a privilege, not a right.

        We use all available information in our visa screening and vetting to identify visa applicants who are inadmissible to the United States, including those who pose a threat to U.S. national security. Under new guidance, we will conduct a comprehensive and thorough vetting, including online presence, of all student and exchange visitor applicants in the F, M, and J nonimmigrant classifications.

        To facilitate this vetting, all applicants for F, M, and J nonimmigrant visas will be instructed to adjust the privacy settings on all of their social media profiles to “public.”

        Our overseas posts will resume scheduling F, M, and J nonimmigrant visa applications soon. Applicants should check the relevant embassy or consulate website for appointment availability.

        Every visa adjudication is a national security decision. The United States must be vigilant during the visa issuance process to ensure that those applying for admission into the United States do not intend to harm Americans and our national interests, and that all applicants credibly establish their eligibility for the visa sought, including that they intend to engage in activities consistent with the terms for their admission.

    Well sounds more like it’s a JD Vance and Trump Security decision. Can’t have them be too insecure by checks notes posting memes and making jokes about them.
