Thanks @alexan

Things that are true:

Accounts can be registered with a fake phone number since it isn’t verified At least some media has GPS location embedded There are efforts to archive as much posts and media as possible currently ongoing Drivers license photos are required for verification Things that are not true:

Drivers license photos are public facing and can be scraped (in reality they cannot, and are not being archived) Millions of administrator accounts are being created by the archivers (the archivers are using regular accounts or public facing data)

    Hello Chapo’s; I am a Nigerian Vanguard and I need help to start the global revolution.

    I am threatened by counter revolutionary forces in my home country but do not have the means to escape to Cuba as my accounts have been frozen.

    All I need of you is to allow me access to your banking account so I may transfer money to you so I may obtain a new passport.

    All I need is your banking account number, social security number, and a copy of your driver's license or other form of valid government ID.

    Glory to the revolution comrade.

      I mean, I don'tknow the banking stuff off the top of my head, and I have no money for you, but do you really want my SSN and state ID? I might have a birth certificate around here somewhere. if you like. as long as you promise to use it only for crime.
