A great tool. But I have some thoughts about the possible use and misuse of this.

Let's talk about the positive first.

I am amidst manually collecting data from a few accounts that is operated by one individual. Now, I have an X number of accounts linked with this person but I am sure this person has 2X the number of accounts in total.

I am just being lucky to collect the ones where he has made some errors.

So if I post this half report of these linked accounts, then the person would be alerted and would, in theory, try to delete all his errors from all of his accounts' post history.

Your tool, could stop this. This basically enables you to get the posts made by anyone at the first instance they hit post. Which is great in this kind of example.


But now let's talk about the bad side.

Your tool is freely available for anyone to use. The very same person I am trying to bust for multi-accounting, is also using information scattered about me on this forum to track my identity and send me threatening messages on my telegram, phone etc.

This kind of tool would essentially be a weapon in the hands of such blackmailers and extortioners.

Furthermore,

In our country, our government is banning crypto, so if I posted my information here and if tomorrow some government agency wanted to track me down - then your tool is going to enable them to do that. And possibly land a person in jail for 10 years - just for being associated with crypto.



Now, I'd like to hear your thoughts about these 2 situations. What do you intend to do to avoid / solve such issues?
