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

I'm impressed at both how quickly the United States is falling into blatant authoritarianism, and also at how many people seem to make excuses for it.

This country enslaved blacks for hundreds of years, slaughtered the natives and put the Japanese into camps and nuked them twice.

It’s always been authoritarian for those that don’t look right

That's pretty lame criticism considering many of those things were contemporary SOP for all countries. The USA remind abnormally libertarian despite this. Now it's getting abnormally authoritarian.
