    What they’re saying is that handling your social handles was always part of a visa application process (at least as far back as 2016). So saying that they now want that is a lie. And there’s zero reason to lie to show the current administration is bad. There’s plenty of truth out there that does the job very well.

      It may have existed before but it’s pretty clear this is about weeding out dissenting opinions, to my knowledge the only thing that would previously disqualify you would be extremist opinions that aligned with terrorist groups. Now if at any point you’ve criticized the actions of MAGA then you’re probably SOL. You’d probably be disqualified for saying Elon is a moron. Trying to downplay this as “not news” is pretty disingenuous considering they’ve shown they don’t care about the law or anyone’s constitutional rights.
