Still think America is a"free" country?

The Trump administration has just announced that applicants for visas to the U.S. will have to answer a question offering up their usernames for many social media platforms.
Now SW doesnt seem to be on the list so far. But this will allow your Anti Trump posts to be scanned on Twitter, Facebook and all the other major players. Not that I was planning a return trip while the President of Hatie was in charge.
Would you like fries with your Paranoia?😂

They asked me for this years ago. This isn't a new policy and it's not restricted to the US.

No, I never thought it's a free country. But to me giving out social media accounts doesn't restrict freedom anymore than listing your parents and grandparents full names and their judicial records along yours for a visa. It's a matter of priorities, which is more detrimental to freedom? Not getting a visa because your social media mentions ISIS or getting to jail because you refuse to wear the scarf or fast in ramadan, or ...etc.
