Half of them use their real name. Also a lot of them are sharing links to content they've posted using their personal FB account or whatever. They don't even try to have any opsec because they don't think they're doing anything wrong.
Comment on Telegram is exposing their users privacy.

Which would never be admissible as evidence in court. I could make an account right now using your name, would that make you criminally liable for anything that I say?

Do you think I couldn’t create a FB account with your name? Do you know how many friend requests I get every day from redundant accounts trying to masquerade as people I’m already friends with?

That’s what that’s what subpoenas are for, to request the ip address and other identifying information are for. The documentation of activity in the channel is the evidence shown to a judge that then gets the official legal request.

But your reply makes no sense since the person I was replying to said they didn’t need subpoenas.
