“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.”
First they come for the students, then next they’ll come for the usual business visas.
I guess it’s time to make my porn site bookmarks public for the sake of a visa. Maybe I should join a MAGA group on Facebook and praise our lord and savior, DJT.
On a serious note, does this cover ALL social media, including whatsapp too? So it is literally “you surrender everything just to study”. That’s fucked up.
Why any international students still want to go to the US is beyond me.
Maybe for the unis?
What’s more lucrative than a fascist driven school that used to not suffer a brain drain out of the continent because of their obliging to fascist rulings, when you can chose basically anything else?
So, what happens when someone that doesn’t have social media accounts applies for a visa? I assume they just won’t believe such a thing and deny the visa since you can’t prove a negative. Would it make sense for such people to make a social media account and just not use it? This is ridiculous.
- Create X account
- Follow DJT
- Retweet/Favorite our lord’s tweet.
- Write some random shit and praise our lord.
- Repeat 2 and 3 everyday
It would make considerably more sense to not travel to the US, for education or anything else
The US has education?
Parts of the US have excellent education. Or, well, had
I guess start one, and just post praises to glorious leaders
They finally catch up on technology just in time to be behind again.
Many are rejecting social media at this point. That number will continue to grow
I see many of these students straight up deleting their profiles.
Alternatively, they’ll have a “public facing” social media, and a real one.
yeah, I can see not having a social media profile at all being treated as tantamount to sedition before too long
I LOVE THE SUPREME LEADER! LONG LIVE THE SUPREME LEADER!
whispers: “have they left yet?” 👀
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.
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
That’s fine, who in their right mind would want to go there now anyways
“You better not have said anything mean on there that hurts Donald’s feefees.”
By this point who in their right mind would willingly enter the USA…
My visa application got rejected for posting a watermelon emoji on Myspace in nineteen dickety two.
and if you don’t have one?
To them that is already suspicious enough to not let you in the country and put you on some list of known terrorists.
The subtext here: “if you post anti-Israel stuff, you can kiss your chances goodbye!”
Welp, looks like I won’t be allowed into America. Oh no. How unfortunate.
Of course you will! There are 30 countries in america, and 29 of them welcome you.

Everyone hated on her for speaking the truth.
