No I wont say where I work because liberal lurkers are doxxing faggots who deserve a helo ride
EDIT: Came back from work to check my post and holy shit! Mods are Gods!
I will give them 60 days just like Potus because I am fair. (Also because that's when the EO kicks in)
However, anything that pops up after that is fair game.
For all you liberal lurking faggots. Fuck you
Take pics of the computer screen (remove trace data) or polaroid of the ms paint and youre golden
Photos leak a lot more data than you might think, even if they help you get away from metadata in the computer files. If this is just a mass email, though, everyone should have gotten the same email and your copy shouldn't be unique.
Provided it went to a large enough list, just copy-paste it as plain text to pastebin or similar without any headers or identifying bits. This will be better than leaking EXIF data in your photos, accidentally giving away your GPS (which yes, might be in those photos...), or worse, having something in the background that could doxx you, including nearly-invisible reflections in matte surfaces.
Good point about the photo i didnt think about invisible reflections. At what point though does plain text become less believeable without identifying markers. It could just be something someone randomly typed up to look like the real thing and create a lot of problems down the road.
As long as the university is known, then journalists can talk to other people who received the email / the university itself, etc. and make them own it or not.
So you can confirm "yes the text is real" via other recipients (who did not leak it) and use that to make the university itself own up to sending it.
I mean, you can send yourself an email too, so screenshots only do so much without info that will dox you anyway. The text is the important part.
Honestly, there are just so many things that can dox someone in photos. Things in the background, EXIF data, reflections, fingerprints, ... Hell, this stuff is at the point where I wouldn't be surprised if someone could use the exact angle of the sunlight to figure out the precise longitude and then use that + the area of the university to narrow things down. There's just so much stuff in photos, I don't honestly think I can think of it all.
Text, at least, is minimal. It's purely at the point where what you see is what you get. Yes, someone in theory could've planted a leak tracer by making tiny changes to every copy of the email, but that's probably overly paranoid in this case and it'd have to be done at the outset. The university is probably proud of this decision and might even plan to challenge the EO in court, so I doubt they care too much about being found out anyhow.
The other things, like searching for reflections or analyzing metadata, are all things that can be done retroactively by any bored antifa wannabe for SJW points, which makes that kind of doxxing more of a threat.
So I say that text has the least risk here, especially for a non-technical person. It will copy exactly what he sees on the screen, nothing more and nothing less. So you can read it and know exactly what info is there, vs. not knowing which random reflection or shadow or hidden camera data in a photo might bite you later. Screenshots aren't that bad, but I've seen people accidentally leak things they didn't want that way too (something something Eichenwald's family tentacle porn...) and you never know what programs hide stupid metadata in pictures these days. Photoshop is especially bad about cramming junk in there. I'd rather not leave even a possible stray username, file path or computer name.
So plain text should be enough to let some press work to confirm it while not being enough to doxx anyone, provided they don't do something silly like leave their own recipient address or internet headers in there. Stick to the text alone and leave a note about who sent it to what group at what university instead of keeping all the email addresses.
