A while back I tried to sign up for Airbnb, but it was impossible to verify my identity without providing social media accounts. (At the time I didn't use Facebook, LinkedIn, etc., and the photo ID upload verification failed.)
Due this experience, I later created Facebook and Instagram profiles populated with minimal personal information and a few friends just so I could prove I existed..
For these new visa requirements, at what point does NOT having social media accounts become suspicious, a red flag warranting more in-depth review? And how useful is the requirement if the natural response is to just create filler social media accounts?
