I guess students will have to delete all social media before applying?

Until an empty account is seen as a red flag. The thing is, they do not need a reason to reject visa applications. This will just provide more pretexts and more power trips for border control agents and embassy bureaucrats.

How about no account at all? Don't forget that the Amish exist in the US.

The amish dont require visa in the US...at least atm. But if they end up needing a visa, which would get renamed to social credit score...
