>disclose five years of social media history

Where does it say that? Your source only says profiles need to be public

Moreover your description is slightly misleading because it only applies to "all applicants for F, M, and J nonimmigrant visas", which notably excludes tourism visas (B-2). The visas listed all seem to be academic related, presumably because the administration wants to crack down on woke ivy league students or whatever.



It was on HN yesterday,

> "THE US EMBASSY in Dublin is tightening its visa requirements, saying that future applicants looking to visit the country will be required to divulge “all social media usernames or handles of every platform they have used from the last five years” on their visa application form."

Irish citizens aren't using the US Embassy in Dublin to travel to the US. That is servicing non-Irish citizens with Irish residency.
