Why people still live in these states makes me shake my head.

But anyone can simply [highlight=yellow]CLAIM[/highlight] to have no social media. So the government will obviously need to make any background check include use of data mining services to uncover your [highlight=yellow]entire internet footprint[/highlight] to verify whether you have truthfully revealed your social media history or not. Companies like https://www.damcogroup.com/data-mining-services-company.html will be utilized to research you, and the costs will no doubt be passed on to you in the form of your application fees. Your internet traffic can be discovered merely from your home address, which has it's own ISP, as does your phone. Unless you have always only accessed the webz at the library or your girlfriend's house,...a data mining company can show you access this forum regularly, which can lead to a demand that you reveal your username. If you refuse because you claim it is not relevant,...sorry Charlie,...you're application is denied.
 
Someone I know uses an alias on fakebook and all social sites. Just telling you for a friend...

That is a good first step. But as I say, unless you mask where your ISP has connected to, interested parties (the government) can see you have visited certain internet sites they are curious about. They may not be able to see what you have done there, but can demand you reveal it to them, and deny your permit(s) if you don't.
 
Another in a series of steps before a Social Credit Score is instituted in the US, just like there is in China.
