The internet is full of smart individuals with an eye for detail.
Lesson learned, if trying to stay anonymous only use cat photos as profile pictures found on google images.
- evanmoran 13y agoDifferent cat photos!
- wlian 13y agoUnless we all standardize on the same cat photo. officialcatavatar.com anyone?
- fnordfnordfnord 13y agoLimecat. Been around for ages, ready for battle.
- sixothree 13y ago... from the most generic search term you can imagine.
- roc 13y agoThe lesson is that your ability to remain anonymous drops in almost direct proportion to the quantity of content you make available. A careful user might have a more-shallow slope; they might be able to post more photos, if they're carefully scrubbing EXIF and being mindful of spillage (unintentional details in the frame). But every single posted photo is still inexorably eating away at their potential to remain anonymous.
- aragot 13y agoAfter publishing the first picture, you might have to throw away the camera... You never know how much unique is the fingerprint of the camera. Might be very useful to crawl profiles to map photos and screen names.
- caf 13y agoYou wouldn't have to throw it away, just label it with the identity that posts photos from it.
- dead_phish 13y ago...and not use that camera for anything other than posts made with that identity.
- dredmorbius 13y agoI happen to know where the bad pixels are in one of my digital cameras. Not sure of the other. Even when I take photos of interesting stuff, I'll find an alternate source rather than post mine.
- dredmorbius 13y agoDamnit, you're on to me, aren't you.
