    “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.”

          Not posting to social media? That's absolutely un-American!

            I have a slight feeling that they will require "proof" of no existing social media profile: Either you give them something, anything, or they will try and search the web for any account that matches your identity.

            And of course, if your cooperation is unsatisfactory, they reserve the right to deny you entry.

                Why, that's an easy one: don't do social media. Regardless of what the American fascist regime wants to abuse it for, it'll do you good.
