Looks like someone built a tool to check your LinkedIn network for names from the Epstein documents. Soon I expect other tools will follow to work with other social media platforms.
This is what the beginning of community accountability looks like. Just because the legal system is captured doesn’t mean there are zero consequences.

Yes, I know I am mentioned in the files, but I can’t control when other people mention me.
#epstein@thedarktangent automating this is damn near negligent. The Epstein files contain copies of many open source licenses and copyright statements verbatim for some reason. So many open source maintainers are in them lol

@kodamachameleon @thedarktangent That “random script” is right there in front of you, less than 400 lines of simple code in clear text. Whatever you’re trying to hint at is factually wrong.
@fnwbr @kodamachameleon @thedarktangent The script _does_ post a sizeable portion of your social graph (full name / company /position of your contacts) to some random third party server. I'll pass.

#epstein@thedarktangent I am becoming increasingly concerned around a person being immediately vilified because their name was found in these files. Evidently you are well aware of this and I hope you share these same concerns.
There's random posts, articles, etc in those files - a script parsing for and finding references to name could mean literally nothing.
Last thing I want to see is something getting cancelled over this and we come to find out it was because a pedo shared an article that had that someone's name in it.
There definitely needs to be more due diligence here to make sure this doesn't happen. We live in a world where most people just read headlines which can be VERY dangerous here.

@syrupsplashin I totally understand, as I am mentioned in the files.
I was pointing out that people will find alternative ways to try and hold people accountable when the legal system fails, that socially disconnecting yourself from those you might have followed years ago will become a thing. It definitely won't be perfect.
For example I am sure over the decades I've followed some people who have turned into MAGA that I would prefer not to associate with. Or maybe there companies that are enabling fascism that I don't want to buy from anymore, but I lack the tools to easily figure out which ones they are.
Someone or some group will do the work, just like the MAGA groups are making lists on their side of the beer companies they don't like anymore.

@jap @fnwbr @kodamachameleon @thedarktangent it does seem odd that it doesn't include the names in a list in the repo, but I guess people might sue? just hash the names one way and then check if a hash matches though

#epstein@thedarktangent what if the "John Doe" you have in your LinkedIn, isn't the same "John Doe" mentioned in the files?

@andreagrandi I would not accept results blindly, but I would like to know at least where to start looking..

#epstein@thedarktangent I feel like this is moral grandstanding. The likelihood of you knowing anyone who is has huffed one of Epstein's farts, much less is actually connected to him is pretty nil. I just feel like this is trying to create connections where there is none. If you can afford to have an underaged girl for the night on an elite private island, chances are you're not on LinkedIn. Ashley Madison maybe, but not Linked in.

The source site for the tools’ information has a direct search option as well. -

@fnwbr @kodamachameleon @thedarktangent And anyone capable of reading the code knows that it sends the contacts to a web service.
And what happens with the data there? It doesn’t say in the script, so nice try.
There is probably a term for this, when someone tries to hide a fact by pointing to it and hoping no one will look.

Ah, isn't there a big danger people with same or similar names get falsely marked? -
