USA will verify the accounts Facebook of people who apply to obtain a visa to enter the country, the US federal government is already running three pilot programs through which it verifies more carefully the people who obtain a visa to enter the US.
Separated from Facebook, the Americans also check other social networks to see if the person applying for a visa could be part of a terrorist group or has made threats regarding the security of American citizens, the checks being detailed.
These checks are apparently done without the company owning a social network wanting to offer dedicated access to the American government, and the check is most likely done based on the name of the person requesting the visa, so if the person in question has an account created with a pseudonym , theoretically it should not be found.
This was the situation encountered in the case of an attacker of the attack in San Bernadino, one of the people involved in the attack obtaining a visa to enter the USA without his account Facebook to be verified, although she made public her support for the leader ISIS.
The US Department of Homeland Security is working on a plan to scrutinize social media posts as part of its visa application process before certain people are allowed entry into the nation, a person familiar with the matter said. The move is part of a new focus on the use of social networking sites following the shooting rampage in San Bernardino, Calif., the person added.
For now, no one knows how exactly this verification will be done and no one knows how many social media networks will be verified by the American federal government, but this is a first warning for those who show their support for various radical causes through Facebook.
The measure taken by the USA could also be taken by other countries around the world, and a wrong share of an article or a picture in which a terrorist/terrorist attack or terrorist organization is presented in a favorable way could lead when a visa is rejected.
