“To facilitate this vetting, all applicants for F, M and J non-immigrant visas will be asked to adjust the privacy settings on all their social media profiles to ‘public’”, the official said. “The enhanced social media vetting will ensure we are properly screening every single person attempting to visit our country.”

    Wasn’t this always the case? I remember flying into the US during the Biden era as a tourist and had to declare my social media accounts.

      During the Biden administration I should have gone to the US over 25 times, and 3 more during Trump’s new term, and not once have they asked me for anything other than “how long are you here for” and “what’s the purpose of your trip”.

      I guess I’m lucky, because I don’t have a single mainstream social media account.
