US demands social media details from visa applicants

Nearly all applicants for US visas will have to submit their social media details under newly adopted rules.

The State Department regulations say people will have to submit social media names and five years' worth of email addresses and phone numbers.

When proposed last year, authorities estimated the proposal would affect 14.7 million people annually.

Certain diplomatic and official visa applicants will be exempt from the stringent new measures.

However, people travelling to the US to work or to study will have to hand over their information.

"We are constantly working to find mechanisms to improve our screening processes to protect US citizens, while supporting legitimate travel to the United States," the department reportedly said.

Previously, only applicants who needed additional vetting - such as people who had been to parts of the world controlled by terrorist groups - would need to hand over this data.

But now applicants will have to give up their account names on a list of social media platforms, and also volunteer the details of their accounts on any sites not listed.

Anyone who lies about their social media use could face "serious immigration consequences", according to an official who spoke to The Hill.

The Trump administration first proposed the rules in March 2018. -snip

I thought Trump/Trumpers were against the thought police. 😂

Against the Thought Police for American Citizens...Yes.

These People are NOT American Citizens and thus are not affored the Same Rights as Us.

Yeah I know Robbie.. You don't like actual Facts when you can Lie and push false narratives instead.

Sad Sad Little Loony Lefty that you are.

Exactly. Those people who want to come into our country are not U.S. citizens and thus do not enjoy all the same freedoms and rights to privacy that we do. I know that's a hard concept for leftist snowflakes like robbie to grasp lol.

It's how they troll. By their own definition of meltdown they do it all the time.

So what happens if someone doesn't hand over their social media accounts? Jail tiime?

Why not demand any diaries while they're at it? Or cell phones, so they can inspect their pm's?

Hell, assign an agent to shadow them as they shit, and inspect said shit for digested contraband. If privacy expectations no longer exist, why half ass it?

Presumably, their visa would be revoked.

I don't really use KMC at the weekend, but the brief look around at the GDF, indicates if I had used it this weekend I would have observed mega breakdowns.

When the UK even flirts with some nonsense like this, Trumpers are the first to point the finger and shout. Now it's great.

What trumpers did this?

Let's be honest: I hate it and everything about it.

It's a violation of the 4th amendment.

Anything can be used against you to make you look bad no matter what. It doesn't matter how innocent you are.

This is terrible. It's best to just hide in the woods, VPN with everything, get all things shipped to you with an LLC shell whose HQ is in a foreign nation.
