Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
I guess but I'd assume it'd be hard to make a program that scans all the credit card info of every user and matches it to government sex offender registry information. Like you can just go by name since I'm sure there are plenty of other "Jeff Epstein'" in the world (though I'd imagine now most of them have changed their names)
Hmm yeah that’s a good point. Is it as simple as like, email? If you were dumb enough to sign up for Xbox live with the same email you put down on your court forms?
He wasn't a smart guy
My main thing is I imagine there'd be some legality concerns about law enforcement, banks and Microsoft all sharing data like that. Also I imagine the government records are probably kept with older hardware and software.
Instead of just speculating more I found an article from the time https://techli.com/sex-offenders-banned-gaming/3714/
Looks like before they even initiated it they required registered offenders to register email addresses and online screen names. They banned 3500 accounts at that time.
I would imagine in the time since people are stingier about giving all of their screen names.
