4 May The US State Department announced its intention to introduce a new procedure to verify asylum seekers and immigrants. If the procedure is approved, the immigrant will have to provide access to their social media over the past 5. If access is denied, immigration services may prohibit entry into the United States.

The new rule may take effect already on May 18. According to the State Department, the new procedures will contribute to additional security measures and the fight against terrorism.

The use of access to social media accounts is part of the "extreme vetting" promised by President Donald Trump to keep terrorists out of the country. The Department of Homeland Security began collecting such information back in February.

The US Department of State plans to access:

— travel history over the past 15 years, including sources of travel funding;

— address history for 15 years;

— all passport numbers owned by the applicant;

- names and dates of birth of all brothers and sisters;

— names and dates of birth of all children;

- names and dates of birth of all current and former spouses, including common-law ones;

— social media that have been used over the past 5 years;

— telephone numbers and email addresses that have been used in the last 5 years.

Official services may request access to Instagram, Facebook or Twitterbut promise not to use passwords for direct access to accounts. Facebook and Twitter even without this, 80% of special services requests to provide them with information about users are satisfied.

While the State Department is prohibited from denying visas on the basis of race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation, it is worth noting that Facebook keeps all this information and algorithmically calculates possible connections with terrorists. Thus, it is not difficult to imagine a scenario when a refugee is denied entry because Facebook algorithmically determined that he has potential connections with terrorists.
