At this point, I’m not even going to bother trying to go on there anymore.

    I went the other route. I am very noisy online. I post and comment all over the place but I treat all of that as what it is, content I have given away freely and publicly. Now, when I need to do something privately, you are going to need serious mojo to be able to dig it out. Plus, who would assume that I do certain things privately when almost everything I do is out in the open.

      SELECT 'ipaddress', 'username' FROM tables
      WHERE (username.normalize() == "jomiran" 
      OR post.links CONTAIN "jomiran") 
      FILTER content IN _blacklist_keywords;
      

      Or some such. Data is easy to mine if you have a target. It’s finding unknown targets that is hard.

        Exactly. Do a search for my username and get flooded with shitposts. IP? MAC? Same, plus some porn watching and way too much YouTube. Everything I want to keep private is done with as many degrees of separation as possible.

            I use disposable hardware (one time use) and unique, pre-configured remote access points from third party locations for my work. In other words, many little headless Raspberry Pis everywhere.

      I have 10 Facebook accounts, a few with my real name and about 20 google accounts.

      The real accounts that I use are created and destroyed frequently.
