Sir, – On reflection, isn’t it good that the US state department is committed to protecting its citizens by upholding the highest standards of national security and public safety through its visa process by demanding a review of online social media activity of visa applicants?
Have we become too flippant in our use of social media, provoking unnecessary and perhaps dangerous anger and hatred?
Demanding that social media profiles must be made public to allow the review of online activity may perhaps ensure more respectful and responsible in online commentary.
No bad thing, eh! – Yours, etc,
