“I didn’t use her name” is not a defence. Click any underlined phrase in the draft to redact it, and watch what happens to the re-identification risk — then run the screenshot test with the four readers who actually matter. Start by removing only the name, and see how far the needle moves.
1 · The draft, before anyone has thought about it
Every underlined phrase is an identifier or a risk. Click one to redact it; click the black box to put it back.
Reading the marks. A dashed red phrase is still in the post. A black box is redacted, labelled with the category it belonged to.
2 · The myth of deletion
Say you posted it, thought better of it, and deleted it eleven minutes later.
3 · Re-identification risk
Risk is not a count of identifiers. It is what the remaining details can do together.
4 · The screenshot test
Assume a screenshot of this, stripped of context and with your name attached, reaching all four of these readers. If any of the four ruins your week, revise or do not post.
