Does Facebook have globally-unique user handles? Instagram seems to the the only Meta property where the handle is not PII (real name or phone number).
Among Meta properties, Instagram is also the closest to Twitter as an interest-based social network (rather than limited to people-you-already-know)
- omeid2 3y agoAny unique identifier assigned to an "identifiable" person is PII. It doesn't matter if it is an IRC or Instagram handler, or a twitter username. It is PII if it can be associated to a person. Euro/GDPR: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-4-gdpr/ https://gdpr-info.eu/art-4-gdpr/ ‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly. The keyword here is indirectly. Australia: https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2019C00025 https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2019C00025 personal information means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable. (a) whether the information or opinion is true or not; and (b) whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not. The keyword here "reasonably identifiable".
