We’re all gonna just gloss over the fact that this Accurint company has and is sharing with LE access to people’s private social media accounts?

It’s not just LE. I used to use this about 10 years ago in a loss prevention job. It cost about $0.50 per search.

The vast majority of information was just scraped from Facebook and other social medias, just presented in an easy way. I don’t think it was able to get anything that wasn’t already public.

Just another reason to lock your shit down.

Or better yet... Don't post anything like that on Social media at all.
