U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has proposed a new rule requiring immigrants to disclose their social media identifiers—or handles—for enhanced screening for reasons of public safety and national security.
The USCIS issued a notice of proposed rulemaking on March 5, seeking to mandate the collection of social media handles and platform names from people seeking admission to the United States, as well as from applicants for immigration benefits such as green cards, asylum, and naturalization.
