Entry can be denied if you claim to have no social media accounts, so you can in fact only give one of your choosing to gain entry. Whether not disclosing any others is visa fraud is a matter of legal consideration iff other accounts are discovered before the collapse of the current administration.

fraud is only fraud iff its discovered? are you a bot ? i am having hard time believing a normal adult human would come up with that .

There are plenty of things that are only "legal thing" once they are officially judged to be so. An obvious (to a layman HNer) crime isn't one until legally declared so.

The same standard applies to many of the apparently unconstitutional actions of the current administration.

Please stop with the paranoid "bot" nonsense, my account is over a decade older than yours is.

ok so what? Go ahead commit fraud in visa applications?

plenty do already and get visas approved, like i said in my own comment. I've seen ppl get h1b/f1 visas based on fake education certifications.

ppl already know that they can commit fraud. So again, what is that you are even saying?

That would be "fraud", not fraud.

I think I was clear; your morally based personal conception of "fraud" isn't relevant to what actual practise is, and this is especially relevant to an administration that might not even be acting legally in the first place.

Maybe these things are fraud, or would be judged so if it goes to court, assuming such a right applies, and you aren't illegally deprived of it; maybe these standards aren't even legally valid.

And if you deactivate the others?

It says "from the last five years"

So what happens if you deactivated an account within the past five years, you can't travel to the US?

lying on your visa application is visa fraud. Its not that complicated. It has nothing to do with "this administration". social media account info has been on those forms for a long time.

Can you pls educate yourself a little bit instead of some nonsensical ranting. bye!

Some say that they even call themselves a “union of those who are European”

And this "union" has a blasphemy law, does it? (It does not). (And even if it did, that wouldn't in any way make the decades long crackdown on free speech in America one single iota better).

(I can’t follow what you’re trying to say)

Makes me wonder, do the big social media companies store deleted data? Probably. And if they do, will that be available to the boarder agents? Image being denied entry, because you were 16 and made some edgy posts / memes about Trump 10 years ago. Long deleted, to the point you can't even remember them - but now unearthed by CBP agents, and that's that.

For the record. FUCK TRUMP UP THE ASS WITH A GROUNDHOG (sorry, Groundhog)
