social media check

A social media check is the practice of reviewing someone's online presence—their posts, photos, and activity on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn—typically as part of hiring, dating, or vetting someone.

Employers run social media checks on job candidates; people check out potential dates before meeting: I did a quick social media check and found some red flags.
