Question is what happens if one really does not use social media, at least mainstream playforms such as facebook. I'm guessing I'm not the only one around here with a small social media footprint...

That's what I'm getting at - I don't use public social media and would probably get denied.

My guess is very little. If it turns out you were lying it might go against you on future visits, or jeopardize green card etc if it came up.

To me it’s not all about that. It’s this dragnet and the meta data (profiles of people who connect to you become fair game)

Time to set up a startup to fake believable social media traffic, I guess.
