Some entity likely been collecting data for a couple decades now.

MANY years agoi I noticed delivery of mundane files on websites as the list flew by on the browser status bar, AWS (Amazon), Google and FB were supplying the files a hell of a high % of the time.

Wayback machine for websites is out there, and deleted posts, nope once placed, someone has it and if famous and it is controversial, front and center real quick!
