Yup; for common/short usernames it's all too common for other folks to register using the same identifier.
The end result seems to be that this tool decides you're interested in "dating", "porn", "stocks" and tags you with a "ru" country code - despite not owning any of the accounts that the determination has been based off of.
The README should come with a disclaimer really.
- jhugo 4y agoIsn't it obvious just from reading one sentence about what it does? As it clearly says, it's based on username only, so multiple people's results may be mixed in the dossier if they share a username. We don't need a disclaimer for every thing that a moment's thought can reveal.
- voakbasda 4y agoThe people that use this tool to dig up dirt on someone will love to see a mixed bag, because it could be useful to cast shade on their actual target. This tool will be abused on purpose.
- jhugo 4y agoThat makes no sense. They could just make stuff up, it wouldn't be any more or less believable.
- voakbasda 4y agoHave you ever been part of a civil lawsuit? The lawyers will absolutely lie through their teeth to make their cases. They will introducw any “evidence” that they think will help them. Would you really trust a jury or a judge to understand and believe that this report is not accurate? Having been through the process, let me tell you straight up: you should not put your faith in the justice system.
- jhugo 4y agoNot sure where the rant about the justice system came from. You are making my point — people willing to lie through their teeth can just make up any report they like, the existence or accuracy of Maigret changes nothing.
