Nothing is ever perfectly muted. You know this well, when you write something in the blockchain it is public. If you made comment about others on your post that is public information.
I actually have a lot of people who read others comments and forward them to me. I am involved very deeply on this blockchain. I have a lot of stake and I need to look after the health of this blockchain.
Right now I am watching Alex Van's every move both in blockchain and elsewhere. I have multiple people doing that for him and all his known associates. So it is obvious that I will have a full report delivered to me about all his activities. Every single word that he write and "all known associates" writes are being collected.
By the way, "all known associates" is a legal term. You can research it.
