And where do you suppose this data will come from? Maintaining something of a plausible and active social media presence is not without it's efforts, nor is creating a profile that would stand up to some scrutiny.

If people aren't really looking it won't matter much, but if they are and getting something that seems fake it might end getting you in much more trouble.

Presumably, if the person thinks it is an issue then they will make an effort to create and maintain it. It'd not be much use for most of us, but it might be invaluable to someone else.

This is the sort of thing AI could do trivially.
