I agree that anonymity is hard and when you make waves it becomes harder but it would be tough to draw that conclusion from those stats. Interesting nontheless.
- gwern 11y agoThere would be many more than that if markets didn't (usually) strip metadata by default.
- vonklaus 11y agoquite possibly true. I can't be asked to dig it up but either this post, or another person speaking about your data said these sites are hand coded and often don't scrub data from uploaded images. if you as an individual can't be asked to scrub a bit of metadata off of a photo you upload to an online black market you probably aren't qualified to work part time at walmart. dodgy bit here though, it would be pretty trivial to edit it and intentionally leak false info and be moderately clever while everyone thinks you are daft.
- gwern 11y agoI wouldn't say often. Most of them, as far as I can tell, get that right from the start, and the ones that don't fix it fairly quickly after being told.
