limited access to, or visibility of, online presence could be construed as an effort to evade or hide certain activity
Do you really not? Can you not connect the dots between “limited access to, or visibility of, online presence” and not having a social media account? Do you truly not understand how these two things are related?
A separate cable, obtained by multiple news outlets, directed embassies and consulates to vet applicants for “hostile attitudes towards our citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles”
…
Applicants for student and exchange visas will now have their “entire online presence” vetted, per the cable reportedly said. If students refuse to change their accounts to “public” and “limited access to, or visibility of, online presence could be construed as an effort to evade or hide certain activity.”
Seems like a reasonable assumption to me
if applicants … don’t maintain a social media presence, the government may interpret it as an attempt to evade the requirement or deliberately hide online activity.
Presumably it’s disqualifying.
if applicants refuse to unlock their accounts or otherwise don’t maintain a social media presence, the government may interpret it as an attempt to evade the requirement or deliberately hide online activity.
Here I was, wondering why people don’t just say they don’t have a social media account.
So hey, what are the actual alternatives to Visa and Mastercard, especially if you live in the US?
