Comment on If you're selected for jury duty (US), should you give up your anonymous social media accounts?

From the thread comments, I believe OP is asking about giving up social media between the summons and the selection as a means to more likely end up on a jury.

Attorneys might ask about past social media use and you are supposed to tell the truth. I don’t feel comfortable with people scrubbing their social media history and then lying to the court about what may or may not have been on it, which is the undertone I’m getting here.

In a higher profile case, bigger and more expensive attorney teams will probably spend more time and effort to snoop on prospective jurors, on lower profile cases attorneys will probably just ask jurors questions and look at their answer forms.
