Sorry to disillusion everyone, but this has been the fundamental nature of posting your stuff online since the online began.

All of you with Facebook under your real name, linked to all your other little accounts and platforms.

All of you who post your faces, your kids, your pets, make your hobby about filming yourself on tiktok, put your voice and your reactions onto twitch streaming. Spotify? Gaming? Twitter? Yeah, how much of these were private in the first place? None of it? Well then.

It's already there. It's publicly available and free to access.

The fact that you posted it online is BLANKET CONSENT for every stranger in the world to study and pull together these pieces of you.

It's not being "dredged up," it was given away on a silver platter.

You act like this is weird and invasive, when there are flashing arrows inviting you into all the closets with all the goods.

If this is horrifying to you, you need to understand that you welcomed this and you wanted it. There's nothing weird about it, because you already said YES and made it available to the world.

If you do not know that posting to any online platform is identical to giving your information away, then now is your opportunity to start knowing. Don't post things you don't want the world to know and are uncomfortable with people "stealing." Don't link identities you need to keep separate. Don't use your real name. Don't give access to your workplace or work buddies. Set boundaries. Control access and control yourself.

It's not hard. None of this is surprising. You all did it on purpose.

anyone else exceedingly unnerved tho about how much information is able to be found about luigi mangione by just like. anyone. like why am i seeing posts about his spotify playlists and gaming catalogue. his twitter, his book reviews, his purchases. i do not need to know a stranger down to every minute detail and neither do you

dudes not even convicted and all of this is still being dredged up btw

#i get OP's discomfort but this isn't the first comment I've seen #and it all illustrates the ignorance of a SURPRISINGLY enormous pool of people who have no concept of privacy or Internet security #none of those platforms I've seen mentioned in connection with Luigi are private #as far as i know they're not only public but also SOCIAL MEDIA accounts #i.e. the entire point is to share and connect with other people #i haven't seen info from private accounts (email. Amazon. etc.)#it's all public social platforms #you BETTER expect that these are easy to view #the fact that anyone thinks its weird that people are viewing them is just. real ignorance #'oh it's your fault for viewing this public info online!' no.#it's the poster's fault for ever publishing anything he didn't want people to see #commentary #internet safety #edit- OP is clearly off the deep end on this. the obvious point is that you don't post what you don't what other people to see. period.#this obviously isn't victim blaming. it's a cautionary tale.#you can take easy and normal steps to not end up like this #whatever you post online IS FULL CONSENT for people to find and use it #full stop #you being uncomfortable with that idea doesn't make it not true.#you can't control other people and you don't get to dictate what other people think is 'right.'#but you DO have full control of what you share and THAT'S what you should focus your attention on
