Comment on Image of a genome autosuspends you from Twitter

Hmm. The "personal information" bit doesn't fit particularly well .

I'd bet on the image running afoul of something like an anti-steganography filter (except in this image the dots aren't actually hidden from human perception), and the "personal info" line is either an error or is intended as misdirection.

I mean, I suppose the unsavory folks doxxing others may be passing around and broadcasting that personal info in steganographic images (or, you know, as ordinary images), but I don't think that makes a lot of operational sense.
