Yes, both the US and UK consider your political activities and social media presence during the student visa process.

- US: Visa officers may review your public social media profiles for any content hostile to the US, its government, or culture. Private accounts or attempts to hide information can be seen negatively and may affect your application.
- UK: The UK has increased scrutiny of online conduct. While the focus is on online safety, your social media activity may be reviewed as part of the visa process.

Keep your online presence professional and avoid posting controversial political content.
