US Immigration policy – Monitors Immigrants’ Social Media for Antisemitism
The U.S. has started scrutinizing immigrants’ social media for signs of antisemitism, according to NPR. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will now deny visas and residence permits based on such activity.
This move has sparked a debate on social media surveillance and internet privacy. Critics argue it may lead to racial profiling and violation of privacy rights. However, supporters believe it is crucial for national security, preventing potential threats from entering the U.S.
Details on how the screening process works are unclear, but it likely involves using algorithms and artificial intelligence to scan social media posts and comments. This policy reflects a growing trend globally, with more governments monitoring online activity to detect potential threats or hate speech.
