After “The department said the review "will ensure we are properly screening every single person attempting to visit our country." Jameel Jaffer, executive director of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, said the policy”
Why it was flagged
The student-visa social media screening paragraph gives a civil-liberties critic's assessment but no statement of the department's own rationale beyond the screening guidance.
What was done
Confirmed. The page's cited Associated Press report (via Fortune, https://fortune.com/2025/06/19/state-department-restarts-foreign-student-visa-process-but-applicants-will-now-have-to-unlock-their-social-media-accounts-for-review) quotes the department's statement that the review "will ensure we are properly screening every single person attempting to visit our country." That statement now precedes the criticism.

“In June 2009, during the protests that followed Iran's presidential election”
Why it was flagged
No timeline entry covers the June 2009 State Department request that Twitter delay maintenance during the Iran election protests.
Why it was dismissed
Confirmed that no timeline entry covers the June 2009 request. The page's account is supported by its cited Foreign Policy source and contradicts no timeline entry. The fix is a new timeline entry, which is outside a change to this page.
