  Foreigners seeking to study in the United States will be required to make public their social media profiles to allow screening for anti-American content under new State Department guidelines released Wednesday.To facilitate the screening, student visa applicants will be asked to adjust the privacy settings on all their social media profiles to "public," the official said.

The U.S. government is considering implementing a system to screen foreign users on social media platforms, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. This initiative, driven by concerns over national security and foreign influence, particularly from countries like China and Russia, aims to identify and mitigate risks posed by foreign accounts. The proposed system would involve collaboration between social media companies and government agencies to monitor and potentially restrict access for users from specific countries. This move has sparked a debate over privacy and freedom of speech, with critics arguing that it could lead to censorship and profiling based on nationality.
