Along the same topic, someone we don't know and don't want to, outed by his apps and accounts:
Google, Twitter alert authorities to man sharing child porn images
A man is in jail after investigators say he knowingly received and distributed child pornography.
He allegedly uploaded at least two files depicting sexual abuse of a child to the internet, according to federal court documents.
An investigator received a report that stated Google discovered files that contained possible child pornography on a user's account.
Google identified the name as “***** *****” with an email address of “********@gmail.com. They said he distributed the files using online websites like Kik, Twitter and Telegram.
Twitter alerted the crisis center of a user with the name “***** ******” and email address of “********@hotmail.com" uploading child porn images, the affidavit stated.
The investigator subpoenaed ******** to identify the IP address and found it belonged to ********.
Law enforcement officials executed a search warrant.
During the search, investigators found and seized several digital storage devices which contained multiple images of child pornography.
******** is currently listed as an inmate at ******* Jail.

Be Warned: Your accounts and apps are spying on you. Do not trust them. You may be next if/when their priorities change.
It still surprises me why anyone with half a brain would do such a thing, knowing that it clearly states on the Google and Twitter TOS (Terms of Service) and that they actively prosecute people that share child porn. Hell there are pedofiles on the news a few times a week that get arrested it seems.
"Nobody" wades through the ToS, it's a yard-long legal morass. But yeah, the apps ToS tell you they data-mine, send your data and device specs back to the Mothership including names and passwords for other accounts and devices in some cases. Good read if you can even understand the language. And then they can legally say they told you so if it ever comes up.
When all the major email carriers sent "notices of changes of terms" saying they require personal data and wireless number to prove identity when you open an account and read your content "for directed advertising" (using keyword bots I assume, maybe image recognition software these days) I deleted all my messages and contacts and moved my contact list to Protonmail. For this kind of content at least. It's only a tiny software change from bots harvesting keywords for advertising, to harvesting keywords for KP, and subsequently keywords for critter bumping.
