The Trump administration continues its war against disfavored speech by forcing student visa applicants to make their social media accounts public.

    Honestly speaking I see a future where people like us are left out of an integral part of the economy.

      Many jobs will already disqualify applicants if they don’t have any social media, or refuse to provide account names. The rise of cancel culture means many businesses are extremely risk-averse, and don’t want any employees who are prone to posting inflammatory things.

        I would think that having no social media is a good thing for employers then…

          The issue is that they assume “I don’t have social media” is a lie. They assume it’s really just code for “I refuse to tell you what my username is.”
