“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.”
I see many of these students straight up deleting their profiles.
Alternatively, they’ll have a “public facing” social media, and a real one.
I’m so happy that I was able to skip all that stuff.
I stoped using my mainstream social media around the years ago.
I kept the profiles, and I think it is good as I can just share them if I’m ever required to.
yeah, I can see not having a social media profile at all being treated as tantamount to sedition before too long
Anyone applying to colleges probably has one already.
Which is probably a net positive on their lives. The less social media the better.
I will imagine that will be seen as suspicious. Interesting businesss to sell clean aged social media account for US only vetting…
Me: I don’t have a social media account Officer: Sure buddy, wait on a side until you do.
Im seeing people come in and out with burner phones that are set up to look clean and minimal.
Careful curation
