For some time now, I have written stuff on the internet under the assumption that one day, my identity will be publicly tied to everything I wrote. Surely in the future it will be easy to give an example of my writing to an AI bot, perhaps combined with some facts about my life, and the bot would be able to find anonymous posts that were likely written by me, across the internet.

"deleted" eh?

For as long as Reddit has been available there have been places that would scrape it and mirror deleted/edited comments. I don't remember what any of them are so people would use them all the time to figure out what someone said before they were banned.

What's stopping them from lying about this? They lie about literally everything, why should anyone believe them about anything at all?

This should come as no surprise. We all knew they were storing everything away in data centers for decades now. Once AI hit the scene it was over. I knew right at that moment they would use it to parse all that information. That's why I stopped using social media in a way that could be used to identify my more violent and anarchistic takes. I'm sure I could still be found out, but I'll not be making it easy for the bastards. Fuck Republicans for fear mongering all of this for my entire life and now cheering for it to be used against their perceived enemies, traitorous cocksuckers.

Maybe someone should visit their offices

Once upon a time, we understood that "putting something online" meant releasing it to the public in perpetuity. Any claim otherwise was gaslighting.

Facebook, et al, have somehow managed to convince people that privacy is something you can get back after they've coerced you to give it up.

Hot. Hot, hot, hot.

Convinced we somehow ended up in the darkest timeline.
