What makes you think most people wouldn't voluntarily give over the social media accounts? It's really only people on HN that cares about that kind of privacy.

If anything, you'll get stuck with the annoying people who are proud of their social media accounts.

And it's going to plunge envenimé more, foreign student enrollment is down 40%, and a lot of students are staying in the US until they finish their studies and definitely leave.

That's true, but that happened before these new requirements were instituted. Indeed, I wonder if rhetoric from administration and the campaign before election had more to do with it than these requirements.

Not that I approve of them, mind you.
