It’s always just bad opsec like sharing names and emails across social media. Here, the dude linked to his own Instagram account. In the NC governor case, the dude used the same handle attached to the same email everywhere. It may seem obvious to us that this is creating an easily searchable permanent index of a person’s internet history, but lots of people legitimately do not understand how that works, and imagine that some obscure porn forum is relatively private.
