alt Hacker NewsCBP actually made me give them my facebook password when entering on a J1 visa in 2017, so I'm surprised to hear so much talk about this. Is it more that the practice of checking social media is more widespread now?

I think the only bit that surprises me is they don't have a back door into Facebook.

If one didn’t have an account with meta they just wouldn’t get the visa then or how does it work?
Does the government have any direct link to meta re what accounts people actually have. I’m surprised people aren’t up in arms about this, I guess it affects mostly visitors and immigrants but the fact that the government needs to see your activity on a private company’s web app is wild to me.
