The field to add your social media handles has been on the DS-160 for at least a decade. It was optional until something like five years ago. The DS-160 is the visitor visa request form. So I guess Trump already made that change in his previous mandate.

What seems to be changing now is that It’s becoming mandatory for residency visas. And also the willingness of the government to go full nazifascist.

do they have consideration for the fact that more and more people are ditching social media? would they believe you if you said you didn't have any?

I don’t have an answer for that. I’m on the outside looking in.
