Oh these websites target public comments lol.

Social media with your real name, protests, speeches, literally any statement of any kind.

So yeah, you can be safe by easily just using a username. But anyone with any major position, especially people in academia, can't really pretend to be a PHD without showing their creds.

Students and professors show up to public IRL events and then get pasted onto these crappy sites lol
