I don't get why the US thought that it'd be a good idea to vet social media accounts for visa applications. If someone's having ill intent, one could easily create a burner account and fill in some random content for the sake of getting thru the visa application. Or they could even just purchase an account somewhere on the internet.

Sad to see what US has become.

Doing that would be visa fraud.

Why create any rule if ppl can commit fraud anyways?

Why ask for educational qualifications for h1b because ppl can create fake certificates( many do) ?

Because then anyone can be deported at any time without any more process needed since it's visa fraud. Maybe even get your citizenship revoked one day given how things are going.
