Eve’s Online Accounts

To advertise her services, Eve uses both mainstream social networking platforms and specialized platforms for BDSM communities and sex work. At the same time, she uses different accounts on almost all these websites to also communicate with her family, friends, and lovers, but, of course, she uses different accounts for each of them.

She has the following accounts:

Platform Contacts Real or Fake Name Trust in Contacts NSFW? Disposable Account
Facebook Friends Realistic Fake Name 1 High Yes Yes
Facebook Family Real Name Medium No No
Instagram Friends Realistic Fake Name 2 High Yes Yes
Instagram Work Work Name Low OFC! Yes
Twitter Public Work Name Low Yes No
Fetlife Friends and lovers Fake Name 2 High OFC! No
Fetlife Work Work Name Low OFC! Yes
onlyfans
niteflirt
eros
Work Work Name Low OFC! No
Switter.at Public Work Name High Yes No

Eve considers all accounts on services that require to use official names, or restrict adult content or sex work (see “Terms of Use” below), as disposable. She tries to use a realistic name on Facebook, to avoid being spotted by Facebook’s bots that try to identify fake names, but knows that at some point her account might be suspended and she would be asked for an ID to recover it.

To keep her accounts really separated, she avoids connecting them to her real identity unless she’s decided to use her official identity in the first place (as she does with her family, or her bank - who both know it anyway). Additionally, she keeps more stable accounts where one can always find her such as on dedicated platforms like Switter (a sex-worker friendly social space) or commercial sex work platforms, and tells her contacts that they can find her there if her other accounts are suddenly deleted or blocked.

However, Eve never takes for granted that these accounts will last very long and keeps a backup of everything she wants to keep in her local machine and an external hard drive.

Isolated Accounts

To keep her accounts isolated, and be sure that they cannot be connected to each other, Eve follows these additional rules:

  • She only manages her work accounts from her work device.
  • She doesn’t follow the same people from different accounts connected to different identities.
  • She is careful never to befriend one of her identities with another separate identity, and never to post the same content with different identities.
  • Eve knows that most social networking platforms will display her location whenever they can, so she disables geolocation in her phone apps, and activates the GPS in her devices only when she really needs it.
  • Eve also knows that many apps and cameras will embed metadata into her photos, which can include the date, time and location of the photo among other things. This metadata may be included in the pictures and videos she shares online, so she always checks that geolocation is disabled when she takes pictures and shoots videos.
