Summary
The Trump administration proposed requiring green card applicants already legally in the U.S. to disclose social media profiles.
Critics, including civil rights groups, call it a violation of free speech and privacy rights, warning it could disproportionately affect Muslim and Arab applicants and stifle dissent.
Public feedback has been overwhelmingly negative, with many citing First Amendment concerns.
The proposal follows controversial deportations and immigration crackdowns.
Yeah as someone who deleted my Facebook and Twitter accounts years ago, and only uses Lemmy now, the people who are most concerned with how I can exist without said accounts are my MAGA family members. They would love the sort of black mirror style “everybody rate each other” system
