anyone else exceedingly unnerved tho about how much information is able to be found about luigi mangione by just like. anyone. like why am i seeing posts about his spotify playlists and gaming catalogue. his twitter, his book reviews, his purchases. i do not need to know a stranger down to every minute detail and neither do you

dudes not even convicted and all of this is still being dredged up btw. like theres nothing stopping this from happening to you either

i understand your broader point (it is ridiculous that every random detail of his life is being treated as newsworthy by a system always in need of content) but there absolutely are ways to stop this happening to you with even the most basic levels of separation between your online accounts and your personal identity. all that stuff you mentioned – goodreads, twitter, spotify – was online under his full legal name. you can absolutely manage your digital footprint in such a way that someone with your full name can’t in fact find all of your accounts with minimal effort
