I'm guessing you're a US citizen, because this isn't about the US. Many countries in the world are more or less puppies of the US government, it's not like we're living in an isolated world where the decisions of the US government don't apply to others because they're not US citizens. This is showing a general trend, which doesn't concern just visa applications.
I'm afraid we're going into a weird timeline where authoritarian figures in power(not just government) are having immense amounts of data for people, and the technology to go through it without much effort. It's a good time(if it's not to late) for everyone who cares about their privacy to start getting as much as possible outside mainstream social media and centralized accounts(google etc)
Greece is run by a populist government, one of the two parties that had be running Greece to it's demise. Kyriakos Mitsotakis is the first Greek politician in my opinion to understand modern media and how to manipulate them, appearing as the sensible choice to people who don't put any effort into researching politics.
All that while we've had the government donating millions to friendly media,
the Greek version of Watergate, with the goverment spying on politicians, journalists and others
and two trains colliding because of state incompetence with many students dying.
All that have not been investigated properly.
Finally the average greek person has not been feeling any "fastest improving business environments" one of the reasons being that the sectors that thrive are not beneficial to the country.
