i was apart of a snark reddit page. i’d occasionally post or comment, nothing defamatory or inappropriate. i’d just say opinions and i even sometimes defended the person it was about. can this person find out who i am even if i deleted my account and the posts/comments. if they do can they post who i am or share it with my employers or family?
Hello Anna. Generally,
- Reddit itself has strict privacy policies and wouldn't disclose your identity unless legally mandated.
- As per US law, disclosing your information without consent could be an infringement of privacy rights.
- However, if your posts were public, others could potentially have saved your information.
Please consult a local attorney for more precise advice.
could a digital forensic person have found my identity and given it to her
Yes, a digital forensic expert could potentially trace your online activities. However, sharing it without your consent may be a breach of privacy laws. Please consult a local attorney for professional advice.
how would they find out it was me? i didn’t have my name or any pictures on there.
Digital forensics can potentially trace online activities through IP addresses, device details, or other data points. However, such actions typically require legal authority or consent. Please consult a local attorney for more specific advice.
can she share my name and pictures online after finding out i was apart of it
Hello Anna,
In Pennsylvania, it's generally illegal to disclose someone's private information without consent. If she shares your name and pictures online without your permission, it could be considered an invasion of privacy. Legal action may be possible. Consult a local attorney for more detailed advice.
am i morally wrong for being on that thread? i’m a teenager and i thought it was fun gossip about a celebrity
As a legal expert, I can't judge your morality. It's essential to understand that online actions can have real-world consequences and to always respect privacy. Think about how your actions might affect others before posting online.
