I spent more than 5 years Vietnam era in the USAF.
I, for now, am enrolled in the VA system with a service connected
disability.
Many in my family and extended family were in the military.
I have no end of respect for our military.
Today with the government we have I would not recommend
to anybody, to sign up.
The government isn't worth protecting.

This is EXACTLY why I closed all my Social Media accounts.
Employers, including the US Government and DoD, have every rationale to want to peruse a new AND EXISTING employee's SM posts.
It's like eavesdropping on an employee's or applicant's living room (bedroom?) and hearing/seeing what they are up to.
While there have been a few successful lawsuits protecting what's said online during personal time away from schools and businesses -- can't be used against the poster -- that's only going to help if you know the basis for any punishments or other actions were related to your posts. They can easily manufacture or use any excuse without divulging they didn't like your posts.
If you still have SM accounts, be aware that making it private or moderating who can see your content isn't foolproof. Many employers now ask you to friend them or accept a "follow" on Twitter. Then they can see all your content -- past & present.
Twitter has a feature that deletes all your tweets before a certain number of days you set, so things you said years ago can't be used as evidence against you.
If you're on SM for business, you should make a business account separate from your personal account, and you should only post business-related, professional comments. Keep personal posts on your personal account, but even better is just don't use a personal account.
In short, you have the right to remain silent. If you voluntarily create an account online and post things that are personal or controversial, you are giving up that right. Anything you post, like or share can, and probably will, be used against you in the court of public opinion. If you do not have a troll harassing you, a self-appointed harasser will find you eventually.
Just say, "NO!"

Technically isn't this already part of security clearance?

Have you ever been investigated for a clearance?

Never had one, never will.
Some liberals try to assert that posting on a forum is SM, but what do you expect when you denigrate their obsession with the crap.

SM is more the big companies that drive engagement for clicks (advertisement revenue).
The forums like this are somewhat of a Social Media platform, but it's more organized. Facebook and Twitter are driving people to content based on a timeline or feed tailored to your personal information and interactions that they track. It's manipulation based on interests and activity. Here, you have to "pull" the content. There, it's "pushed" to you.
TapaTalk app gives the forum a more SM feel with notifications and thread subscriptions, but it's still not driven by the same AI algorithms that target individuals based on the data they mined.
