Startup idea: Social Media Presence as a Service.

The problem is that they already ask you to list all social media profiles, so if you had a "public" account that's only unobjectionable posts, and an "alt" account where you post your political activism posts, you either have to disclose the alt as well, or you're committing a felony by lying on a form.

No joke. It will happen, just as "Admissions consultants" for schools are already a thing.

It will probably be an AI-driven service. Describe the persona you want to project and let HAL take it from there.

"Hostile attitudes towards our citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles" all apply to Trumpists (of which there seem to be an uncanny number of non-citizens), but something tells me this is more Orwellian powertalk rather than honestly stated policy.
