Re-identification of supposedly anonymous data was a problem twenty years ago, and is a bigger problem today. Soon it may become a crisis, as the tools needed to do it become more and more turnkey, effective, and commodified. Now we dox as in a glass, darkly, etc.

This data is already "re-identified" by some somebodies. And complete intent to harm over a course of 5 years proven out. I have evidence, lots of it. The individuals initially affected by the search leak need to be notified by a representative of AOL and probably SOE. Time to stop the dark patterns of attribution games and ready the individuals for what is to come. If I had been caught alone, I probably would have not made it through the harassment that came from the people that have re-identified the data.

Have three identities confirmed - yet the individuals doing the harassment all know best evidence has to come from law enforcement and the logs - not my screenshots. It's part of the game they play with the data.
