Not to say I agree with it, but public posts you choose to make to social media are just that, public. Out of all the things they likely put people through, that one seems like a no brainer.

that one seems like a no brainer.

I mean for them to search social media public posts to see if someone’s crazy.

Again not taking a side in any of it. But if your goal is to investigate people, not using their posts seems like “leaving money on the table”
