    i mean as i said, the law says what exactly is done in such a high level clearance check, and it does not say that they check like private information on social media. So they cant legally optain this information like this, and because of the privacy laws, the social media platforms would not be allowed to hand that information out just because someone asks without any legal claim either

    sure spy agencys might do different stuff, and there might be some other type of international data base they can look into for a background check

    But normal goverment agencys cant just bypass the law (in my country), thats just a myth.

      No country is publicizing what checks they do for a high level security clearance check unless they want to give bad actors and easy way to beat their checks. What country is this and whats the exact law you are referencing? If you can provide me direct evidence for that I’ll eat my words but I think you are misunderstanding something if im honest.
