RE: Governments trying to analyze social media posts before granting VISAs
Yes, but many sites, including Steemit, now require a mobile phone number to register. With all of the spying apps (Facebook ect) on your phone, then, I would have thought, easy.
Perhaps it is more of a trap. If you don't willingly provide the profiles, and their records indicate this, they have an automatic reason to deny you the visa, or have you under surveillance while in the country.
I think you are on to something there with the consent issue. Giving them your social media, I think, just streamlines the process for them by eliminating some steps. Of course, if you don't consent, they have a reason for visa denial.
