Comment on Apparently Palantir can access the content of social media accounts that were deleted a decade ago.
altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoThe obvious strong link is reddit+email. Someone could have got into his personal, probably old mailbox, where original registration letters (with r/handle) and notifications still are. I find it more probable, but since government is under MAGA, they could’ve used some way to ask Huffman if some account matches the mail address.

This is why I resisted attaching emails to reddit accounts for years. Recently subs have started soft banning users without registered emails though, so I started just using throwaways.
