The Trump administration is set to implement a new policy requiring that most applicants for U.S. visas share information about their social media use.

A U.S. Department of State official said that the new requirement will serve as a “vital tool to screen out terrorists, public safety threats, and other dangerous individuals” from gaining immigration benefits and entering the United States, the Hill reported.
