Offensive or Controversial Comments: Hate speech, discriminatory remarks, or political statements may be scrutinized.
Misrepresentation of Identity: Providing false personal information or fake accounts can raise red flags.
Excessive Party or Alcohol Content: Posts showing irresponsible social behavior may influence visa officers’ perception.
