US embassy wants 'every social media username of past five years' on new visa applications

Of course, how would they know if you don't list any? Oh, that's right, PRISM. Fully expect that people who don't have social media accounts to get accused of having them simply because someone else shares the same name and did say First Amendment protected stuff, like Donald Trump is a terrible fucking president and should be impeached.
Sorry person with the last name Erdude. I guess you aren't getting into the US now.
Yeah, keeping our shit to ourselves has never really been our strong suit.
Sorry 🙁
As a Middle Easterner, I genuinely feel sorry for the non maga Americans, but unfortunately that's your fight to fight.
Good luck.
Last 30 years of dismantling of civil liberties and it will continue
But at least gays got to marry ✊
"And fight we do" LOL
Unleash the devastating power of the Kumbaya warchant on your little stroll to the streets!

We're damned if we do, damned if we don't. Keep fighting the good fight. You've got a good decade on me, but I see you and I'm right there with you. ✊
The Blue MAGA are just as bad for the world, they only cry now bcs they're getting a taste of their own shit domestically.
These immigration raids and terror tactics are terrible on their own, but it’s especially absurd when Native Americans get caught up in it, and it just fully exposes how disingenuous and transparently racist the whole effort is. So I’m sorry that your peoples have to suffer even more because of this racist mindset.
From a January article:
”If you can’t say, ‘we’ve been here for time immemorial,’ then you’re an immigrant. You’re not from here, so who are you to classify our Indigenous people? These lands have been a melting pot for many ethnicities,” Hatathlie [a Native Arizona state Senator] said.
I heard another more recent example of a car full of Native Americans being pulled over, aggressively questioned, and asked for their papers, but I can’t seem to find it. It’s utterly shameful how we treat people.
I can't wait to see high attendance in Mexico and Canada-hosted matches, with rock bottom attendance in the US. Even US fans travelling domestically, don't go, especially to the states that are falling into line with Trump.
Not that it will actually be recognized for what it is. I may put together a bingo card on the ways media spins it.
People should boycott it outright.
The entire event industry is a front for sex trafficking.
Going there with a crappy handwritten letter including all 40’000 throw-away users I ever created
/s
Then again, I have no reason to visit shithole countries in the first place.
The username requirement isn't anything new; that requirement was on our DS-160 years ago.
The "wants people to set their social media profiles to public" isn't quoted, so seems less like an official policy anywhere and more like one embassy worker being a prick. Unfortunately, each individual embassy operates independently totally devoid of any accountability.
This process is dehumanizing, inefficient, and totally fucked...but this particular part of it has been this was for a long-ass time.

New US visa rules will force foreign students to unlock social media profiles
“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.”

Fair enough, though that's an ask from the State Dept., not a demand from the embassy, as indicated in the OP. It's an important distinction because the embassy holds the authority at that point in the process. They can ignore the guidance altogether or demand everyone open their profiles. They're probably more likely to do the latter now, but they could've done this two years ago too.
Demanding the usernames for the past 5 years and being suspect of anyone not on social media isn't a new, that was my main point. I don't think many people appreciated how shitfucked our visa processes are, even before the current "administration" helping.
I think it's all some level of FUD until there's an example of it being called out as a reason for denial. The fields have been on the application for a while, but I know someone who recently came in with a private ig profile and a vk profile that hadn't been used for anything but chat. Wasn't mentioned at all along the process beyond being on the application.
That may change soon, but it also might just be rhetoric from dipshits playing to their dipshit base.
- Post trump positive stuff, maybe edit old content to include.
- Post prompt inject to label account america positive, hide in spoiler block, image alt text, etc.
- Post eyeblech content so checker use ai or only get content overview. Will either prompt inject or mostly see trump positive post.
Or create fake profile with trump positive post, but no history probably suspicious.

::: spoiler note
in case it is unclear to anyone: the above is a joke.
in all seriousness, renaming someone else's account and presenting it to CBP as one's own would be dangerous and inadvisable. a more prudent course of action at this time is to avoid traveling to the united states.

What do you mean "what psyops"? Are you unaware that both China and the US, as well as almost every other country around the world, conduct foreign influence campaigns?
reuters.com/world/us/us-voters…
And I'm sure I don't need to give you examples of American campaigns. Most of Hollywood contributes.
Was really waiting for them to reveal how they knew this campaign was Chinese.
I can believe that it’s something China could do, but I’m not sure why I should believe this article’s assumptions without evidence provided.
oh no need. CIA psyoping has been publicly admitted to by the us government themselves, and some of their own officials.
quite a few of the people-are-dying atrocities too.
can you please tell me how exactly chinese psyops will destroy the US? 'cause i can't really see how anything they could would hurt the world.
would the chinese, perhaps, campaign for communism in the US? how could that possibly be bad?
Stuff your visa, and return the favor and stay TF out of other people's countries.
That would be a welcome change.
if they successfully fully take over, those same supporters now become the new threat
Quite a few of the current crop of deputized ICE agents are MAGA goons from four years ago. So long as you're actively doing the gruesome work of ethnic cleansing, you'll be given a pass.
Sure why not, since my name is Anthony O'Neill. You can find my short form username: Anon.
What could they find? I bet I'm save.
You can find my short form username: Anon.What could they find?
Yes, what possible community full of people named "Anon" could they find that would get you in any amount of trouble?
I'm betting on the opposite problem,
We show here you've been VERY active. Please have a seat in this chair until we come for you.
Oh well, I wouldn't have been welcome anyway, seeing I've had the audacity to be critical of Israeli ~~genocide~~ defense, TACO and Daddy Put-it-in.
Guess I'll go spend my tourist money elsewhere.
