"social media" - do they include the fediverse? retroshare? secure scuttlebutt? Otherwise it's "we'll monitor you on fb & co and twitter", because even reddit allows pseudonyms.

- duxup 5y agoIf it's public, you can, I can, anyone can read the newspaper.

- pmlnr 5y ago> It is publicly accessible That depends on the instance.
