PHOTO: REUTERSThe United States State Department will vet the social media accounts of foreign journalists applying for visas to work in the US, according to a media report on Thursday. The report in the conservative news outlet The Daily Signal cited an internal memo that said an initiative by President Donald Trump's administration that requires applicants for many visa types to make their social media accounts public for screening was being expanded to include foreign media representatives. The White House and the State Department's official accounts on X shared a link to the article, but the State Department declined to confirm the specifics of the report, citing a policy of not commenting on "purported internal documents." US Citizenship and Immigration Services has said it will screen the social media posts of immigrants and visa applicants, including for what it deems antisemitic content and "anti-Americanism." The administration has canceled the visas of foreign students in the US who engaged in pro-Palestinian activism, in some cases attempting to deport those students.
