Albert Jesús Rodríguez Parra was one of more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants the Trump administration sent to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. After his release, he says he wants the world to know what happened to him.

    It’s all fun and games until someone spends 5 seconds on google and gets your home address.

      I don’t actively use any social media with real names either but if you do anything online from applying to jobs to signing up for services like hydro, your name is probably out there

        It’s not about having your name out there it’s about having your name associated to TikTok content or other social media that is not job related.

          If a state-actor doxxing you is in your threat model, using any social media should be verboten - even under a pseudonym.

      If the US or another fascist government wants to kidnap you and send you to a concentration camp, it won’t matter if you posted your info online. Don’t put this blame on the individual.

        I did not put the blame on the individual. I just said, if you don’t want things on social media being associated with your name don’t put your name on social media. Just as a general rule of thumb that everyone should know.

          Maybe that was good advice 10 years ago. Nowadays it’s practically impossible to stay anonymous. Most social media make it mandatory to provide your legal name and even if you don’t, the government has many ways to still track you down, because you leave all sorts of traces. The only way out of this is by political change.
