The city subreddit has a post with a unique pothole photograph. Besides saving the image, what should collection of that Reddit artifact include?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A Reddit post is a labeled envelope, not just the photo inside. Grab the username, post ID, time, and a quick read on whether the account looks throwaway. That context travels with the pothole picture into the report.
Full Explanation
A social post is a sourced artifact: the image plus the public account context that published it. Collection should record username, post identifier, timestamp, and account-age or throwaway indicators that are visible without private access. Legal names obtained by threats and private moderator tools are out of civic OSINT scope. Dropping the account context leaves a picture that cannot be cited or weighed.
