The purpose of this change is to check the identity of the applicants through their digital activities and their eligibility to enter the US. Earlier this condition was applicable only on student visa (F1), but now every applicant will have to follow this rule.

This step has been taken with the aim of ensuring the national security of America, so that the possibility of entry through suspicious or false identity can be prevented. Therefore, if you are planning to go to America, then from now on social media has also become an important part of your visa application.

Effective immediately, all individuals applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa are requested to adjust the privacy settings on all of their social media accounts to public to facilitate vetting necessary to establish their identity and admissibility to the United States… pic.twitter.com/xotcfc3Qdo

The US Embassy said in a post on X (formerly Twitter),
“Every visa decision is a national security decision. Therefore, applicants must set the privacy settings of all their personal social media accounts to ‘public’, which will allow verification of their identity and legitimacy in the US.”

To which visa categories will this rule apply?

• This rule in particular
• F visa: Students pursuing academic studies
• M Visa: Vocational/Technical Course Students
• J visa: People participating in exchange visitor programs such as internships, research, etc.

US Visa : Impact on Indian students

Every year, lakhs of students from India go to the US on F and J visas. With this decision, they will now have to put all their social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn etc. on public mode so that they can be screened. This decision may raise privacy concerns for many people, but it will be a mandatory part of the visa application process.

According to officials, social media scrutiny will now also play an important role in the visa process. The State Department has made it clear that officials will scrutinize social media accounts, posts and messages that may be against the US government, citizens, cultural institutions or the country’s core principles.

According to the ministry’s statement, “Through this social media screening, we will ensure that every person entering the United States is thoroughly vetted and does not pose a threat to the country’s security or core policies in any way.”

With this new step, the path seems to be opening once again for students dreaming of studying in the US, but they will now have to take full responsibility for the cleanliness and appropriate use of their social media records. This new rule is likely to be a challenge for many candidates, especially those whose accounts have shared controversial or security-related content.

Children are being harmed by social media

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese justified this decision during the news conference and said that social media platforms are having a negative impact on children. He also said that the time has come for the government to take strict action on this issue, so that children can be protected from mental and physical harm. He believes that spending excessive time on social media is increasing lack of self-worth, anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems in children. Albany emphasized that this law to prevent the use of social media for children under the age of 16 will be introduced in Parliament this year and after its passage, it will be implemented within 12 months. He also clarified that even those children who want to use social media with the consent of their parents will not be allowed.

Responsibility of social media platforms

According to this decision, it will be the responsibility of social media companies to take appropriate steps to prevent children from accessing their services. Parents or children will not be given any responsibility to implement this rule. This means that social media companies will have to ensure that children under the age of 16 cannot login to their platforms and their data is kept safe. The Prime Minister said that social media companies should prepare in advance to prevent children from accessing social media, so that this law can be followed as soon as it comes into force. In this, the platforms will have to update their policies and technology, so that they can identify the age of children and ban them.

Which social media platforms will be banned?

This law will have the biggest impact on those social media platforms, which are very popular among children these days. These mainly include Meta’s platforms Facebook and Instagram, ByteDance’s TikTok, and Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter). Apart from this, Alphabet’s YouTube can also come in this list. Although the video content on YouTube is mostly for children 13 years and above, it can also be brought under scrutiny under this policy. So far there has been no official response from these companies on this decision, but it will be seen how they will follow this new policy.

Australia’s move and policies of other countries

Australia’s move has emerged as the strictest policy regarding social media use for children. Earlier, many other countries have also taken steps to keep a close eye on children’s social media use. For example:

– France proposed a ban on social media for people under the age of 15 last year.
– In the US, social media platforms have been instructed to seek parental permission for children under the age of 13, so that the data of children remains safe and a safe online environment can be ensured for them.

But, Australia’s move is the strictest, because here the use of social media for children will be completely banned. The government has decided that social media is hindering the mental and physical development of children, and now it needs to be controlled.

Impact on social and mental health

This move symbolizes the priority given to the mental health of children in Australia. Children spending excessive time on social media reduces their physical activities, which can increase obesity and other health problems. Apart from this, problems like sense of comparison, negative comments and cyberbullying on social media can affect children mentally. Therefore, the Australian government has decided that the use of social media is emerging as a major threat to children, and concrete steps will be taken to stop it.

This decision of Australia is an important step towards creating a safe and healthy environment for children. This step is a necessary initiative towards protecting children from the ill effects of social media, improving their mental health and motivating them to stay active in their real life. Although this may be a big change for social media companies and users, it is a step towards a healthy and safe online environment.

Even in India, celebrities like Virat Kohli, Alia Bhatt and Sonam Kapoor hide their children’s photos and all parents should do the same. Of course you would think that what would happen just by sharing photos but there are many bad aspects of it. The biggest aspect is related to privacy and obviously, children do not decide for themselves whether their photos are to be seen by the world or not.

Photos are shared without consent

Before sharing anyone’s photo on social media, it is mandatory to take his consent, but for children, their parents take this decision. This habit is considered wrong because sharing information and photos of children on social media is more than disrespectful and can cause harm in many ways. This is the reason why the Assam Police is warning the parents by running a special campaign.

Children can be easy targets

It is also important to hide photos of children on social media so that criminals do not use them as a means to harm you. Children can be easily targeted and by sharing their identity yourself, you make the job of criminals easier. Children have no sense of right and wrong, so they can trust any stranger who knows a lot about them because of the information you share on social media.

Identity theft is also a big danger

Identity theft and profiling are among the most common cyber crimes. Making children a part of social media means you are giving them an opportunity to steal their identity. Your children’s faces can be used to create fake IDs. Those photos, which you have shared yourself, can be used to take advantage of any kind of government scheme, to commit fraud or to take loans in the name of children.

Misuse possible with AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly in discussion these days and it is also being misused for data mining. Along with selected photos of children, fake photos, videos and other documents related to their identity can be easily created. There are also tools in the online world that can create deepfake videos with any face. You don’t want your child to be a part of a video of an activity they’ve never done.
