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?😂

What would happen if you do not have a social-media account?

Or you have two, three or more, with a different user-name for each?

Or if you use only a small, special-interest forum, perfectly respectable but unlikely to be on some CIA-approved list? At least its existence would be easy to verify, if the visa-application official is allowed more initiative than the average database-jockey.

What though would happen if an applicant genuinely just does not use any forum or chat-site - perhaps chooses not to use the Internet? Would he or she simply not be allowed to visit the USA even for a holiday?
