Mark Robinson is running for governor of North Carolina and his pron internet history of comments got leaked. How did this get revealed and how do you link pseudonym internet comments to a person?
In: Technology
So, when you run for office, there’s a moment when your campaign manager sits down with you in a room. Also in the room will be key staff members and at least one private investigator. You will be asked for EVERY negative thing in your past. You will be asked if that is everything you can remember. You will be asked if there are any things that are too embarassing to mention, You’ll be asked over, and over, and over, about EVERYTHING.
Then your staff and the investigator will dig deeper. Someone will take your username and passwords and start scrubbing your discoverable Internet history of anything negative. They will do everything possible (not necessarily legal) to clean up your past of discoverable negatives.
Somehow, Robinson got into office without this apparently happening. Maybe it did happen and he wasn’t forthcoming. Maybe the investigator was incompetent. At any rate, this process was not done.
