> Omitting social media information could lead to “visa denial and ineligibility” for future visas, the embassy added.

The state capture by big tech is getting insane. No national ID because privacy and government overreach but sure force everyone to register an account with a private entity that specifically profits by selling your personal information.

I am curious if they'll reject me for not having any active mainstream social media accounts. I suppose I'll find out next year. Might make a few accounts to automate with LLMs and Stable Diffusion with pro-Trump content just in case when I get time on the weekends.



In the last thread several people mentioned plans like this, even for their kids.

Basically letting people creating astro surfing accounts that only benefit the social media platforms and politics again.


Now that I think about it, this policy is a really smart play. Pretty much incentivizing foreign interference and sentiment manipulation while keeping more left leaning immigrants out of the country. Give it a few years and that might be enough to give the republicans a consistent majority of national vote share.

I don't know. The next president might not like that and deny your visa.
