F-M-J Visa Applicants on Social Media Policy for Washington Post
Hello, my name is Sammy Westfall, and I’m a reporter on the Washington Post’s international desk.
I am writing a story about the effects of the U.S. State Department’s new policy stating that F, M, J visa applicants must have their social media set to public. Specifically, I am looking to speak with F, M, J visa applicants (international students and exchange visitors, or incoming ones) to see if and how they have adjusted their social media presence and habits in light of that new guidance. (Have you deleted social media accounts or posts? Kept it them the same? Has your thinking about what you post changed? Did you receive any questions about social media at your visa appointment?)
If you are open to speaking to me, please let me know in a Reddit message here or at my work email, [email redacted].
