tl;dr
Oh man.... been a while since I checked your thread, was wondering if you were still around man.
True statement about the security risks, it's simply not safe to be posting pics to ig or anywhere major like that and one shouldn't even be accessing forums without using a VPN or Tor regardless of if the site uses HTTPS or not. It's simply not safe, I don't care what admin says they don't keep IP logs. It's easy for the NSA to intercept this traffic and they're known to have capabilities to decrypt HTTPS. The best bet is using a VPN as at least your IP is obscured and your traffic is encapsulated in (as of now) unbreakable encryption.
Also, make sure to be scrubbing the EXIF data from your images before you post them, again regardless of if the site admin says all images are scrubbed. Better safe than sorry. You don't want some asshat DEA agent to do some simple analysis and figure out not only where the pic was taken, but by what device, at what time and sometimes, by who.
The other option is to go old school, loose lips sink ships. The less places on the web that have this stuff out there, the better for you in the long run. As your friend is learning, they'll use this shit against you and in the case of his ig, that's indisputable evidence. They have his phone hardware ID, retrieve from the uploads, and probably have his phone now in evidence too. It's a shitty situation all around. Sucks he got popped, but some discretion would've saved his ass. Personally I have no connections to anything canna related on any social media attached to my online presence, completely detached from this "secret" part of my life. It's us against them and we all should be responsible enough to recognize it's not quite safe enough to put your name next to these products without adequate (a) bankrolls and (b) legal representation.
Gonna be heading up that within the month, finally getting back to the PNW and the damn fine smoke that is up there. Will be glad to be saying goodbye to 12% THC "high grade" going for $50 an eighth and hello to that top shelf organic. Will have to avoid your threads for a bit longer then, will be too tempted to get back at it too soon otherwise ;) glad to see you about man. If you aren't familiar with anything mentioned above, shoot me a pm, I'll give a quick run down on everything that will help protect you online. It's a little system I call my internet condom. Everyone should use one lol
One Love,
