According to the new rules, now all applicants for US Visas
will have to submit details of their social media accounts.
According to the State Department, the applicants will now
have to submit applicants for their name on social media and email addresses
and phone numbers used in five years.
Last year, when it was proposed, authorities estimate that
it will affect seven million people annually 14 million people.
However, some diplomatic and official visa applicants will
be exempt from these new steps. But the United States will have to provide this
information to people going to work or study.
"With the support of those who travel legally in
America, we are also constantly working to improve our screening process so
that American citizens can be protected."
Earlier, only additional people were tested in such parts of
the world where controlled terrorist groups.
But now the applicants will have to provide details of their
accounts in the social media platform list, and also provide details on all the
accounts that are not included in the list.
Speaking to the US newspaper, Da Hill, a government official
said that anyone who lies about their social media accounts can face serious
serious consequences.
The Trump Administration first proposed these laws in March
last year.
At the time, a civil society group called the American Civil
Liberties, "there was no evidence that social media monitoring would be
effective," and it was said that people from being able to sync themselves
online Can start
The immigration issue was an important issue in the US
presidential election of the 2016 presidential election Donald Trump.
During the period of his rule, and before that, the
immigrant 'tough test' was told.
The Trump Administration has said that he wants to get data
from everyone's social media activity for American Visas.
This proposal has been made by the US Department of State,
and under this, the applicant will have to describe his Facebook and Twitter
accounts.
The details of the social contact site that they have used
in the past five years will be given.
These information will be used to identify and strictly
investigate, and these two visas will apply to immigrants and non-immigrants.
Telephone number, mobile number, e-mail and travel details
used by the Visa applicant in the last five years will also be asked. They will
also have to tell if they have ever been demolished from the country and have
no relatives involved in any terrorist activity.
This new proposal will not affect the citizens of the
countries that allow US to travel without visas. They include Britain, Canada,
France and Germany. But, citizens of Pakistan, India, China, and Mexico will
not be affected by those countries, whether they go to America for leisure or
leisure activities.
It is believed that after the promise of 'Extremely Strong
Test' before entering into the US to counter President Musharraf's terror, it
has been a tough proposal.
A foreign ministry official said last month in May this
introduction was introduced that visa officials can ask those individuals for
details of their social media accounts, which they think that they are ' More
details will be received so that they can look more closely with national
security. "
Approval of this proposal will be approved by the Office of
Management and Budget. Before the decision on this, the public will get two
months' breaks to say their own.
But before this, organizations of civil liberties criticize
this policy and have declared an attack on privacy, which can affect the
freedom of expression.
The giant solar system of the American Civil Liberties Union
said: 'Now people will be surprised to mislead what they have said on social
media.'
He further added: 'We also concerned that the Trump
Administration appreciates the meaningful and broad meaning of terminology,
such as terrorist activities, because it is political in itself and it is used
as such a tangible What can be done against the country that has not done
anything wrong. '
I don't think that getting social media accounts can help US in screening visa applicants because if I am the applicant and I know that I have something in my account that could ruin the application I would definitely delete it.
