US immigration officials look to expand social media data collection

U.S. immigration officials are asking the public and federal agencies to comment on a proposal to collect social media handles from people applying to benefits such as green cards or citizenship, to comply with an executive order from President Donald Trump.

~~Orange Gestapo~~ “Homeland Security” has opened up a 60 day comment period for plans to collect Social Media accounts for anyone with a Visa or Greencard.

Link to provide Homeland Security with feedback is in the article as well as here.

Leave feedback, though I’m highly doubtful it will make any difference.
