The anonymous thing is so weird. Until early social media - Myspace for the teens, Friends Reunited for the adults - popped up, EVERYTHING on the internet was anonymous. Games, forums, Livejournal...that was standard. Over time there's been a shift so now your FB connects to your Insta which connects to your Twitter which connects to your Tripadvisor, but still, huge parts of the internet are and always have been anonymous!
Interesting that the Jack threads never get a mention. She'd be perfect for these articles - a semi-recognisable name, but not intimidatingly famous. Maybe her reputation for litigation is at work?
