[OPSEC/Computer] Erasing your clearnet life when you become a vendor.

Is part of a vendors OPSEC to completely delete all social media profiles such as twitter/facebook/etc. I would fear that if LE was trying to identify a vendor Then LE could analyze how they use grammar and how they list certain things or using lots of periods inbetween sentences and cross reference that against thousands of posts you might of made on social media and they could could possibly find matches with software designed to search on the clearnet. Maybe this is too paraniod. Thoughts? I hope i didn't give them any ideas. :-/

Stylometry analysis is a real problem but not in that way. Analysis can identify a person at ~80% rate with 6000+ word samples from two personas. If you get on LE radar then that is just one of many ways you can fuck it up. There's a program called Anonymouth that can help you avoid this.

A good vendor usually sounds very formal, possibly even robotic at times, and always, no matter what, uses the term "we" or "i" instead of identifying with any sort of sex or gender. This makes it easier for them to avoid this very scenario, it is still one way, even using this method, vendors are identified. It's a difficult issue to solve. You have to be very Concious of how you write things. As another user mentioned... Anonymouth has been gaining popularity
